Here’s a pair of sweet little moon mitts for all your dreamiest activities. Wear these while:

• Reading a mysterious time-yellowed book
• Playing your guitar and looking at the moon
• Petting a rumbly old cat
• Knitting, of course

This pattern has been minimally edited and has come straight from my brain, so please feel free to let me know if there are any problems!

Edit: This pattern makes a kind of small pair of gloves - think adult women’s small! If you want them bigger, you may want to knit at a higher gauge.

update October 2025:

So pleased so many of you like this pattern! Feel free to remix, make your own spin and post your free pattern, and/or sell the gloves you knit from this pattern! I’d appreciate if you link back to the original pattern if you do though. Thanks :D

If you like these but think “wow I wish they had a pumpkin on them instead,” you’re in luck!
