Moondust Mittens

With everything we do, we leave traces on this planet—and even beyond! Did you know that the tracks left by the Apollo 14 crew on the Moon's surface remain prominently visible to this day? Among these fascinating remnants, the paths made by their Modularized Equipment Transporter (MET), affectionately dubbed the “rickshaw,” stand out. These lunar traces meander gracefully across the moon’s plains, serving as a poignant reminder of the brave explorers who ventured into the cosmos long ago.

In honor of these heroic visitors, we present the Moondust Mittens, accompanied by a matching hat, which beautifully reflect the unique patterns left behind on the Moon’s surface. The design of the Moondust collection pays tribute to the pioneering spirit of the Apollo crew as well as to all adventurers who dare to explore the unknown realms of the universe. By wearing the Moondust Mittens, you can carry a piece of this inspiring legacy with you, no matter where your journeys may take you.

Gauge: 30 stitches and 40 rows equals 10 cm (4 inches) over reverse stocking stitch when using 3.5 mm needles and after blocking. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter looking for an engaging project, this pattern is perfect for you. Join us in celebrating exploration, creativity, and the beautiful connections we foster through knitting.
