Feel The Heat Mittens Bernie Sanders Style

At the beginning of the year, I created the Feel The Heat mittens Bernie Sanders style. He’d made such an impression at the inauguration with his mittens I just had to create my version. Regardless of what you think about the politician, as a crafter, you can appreciate the style of the mittens. My mittens aren’t exact replicas of his. However, his design inspired me. Plus, of course, they’re cozy mittens that you can continue to wear throughout fall and winter. So they aren’t so much a political statement as they are an everyday wearable accessory.

The Inspiration for These Knit and Crochet Mittens

Sen. Bernie Sanders wore memorable mittens to the 2021 inauguration — and now you can make your own! I’ve had tons of people reach out to me about patterns, and they’re now available: a free crochet pattern AND a free knitting pattern for the Feel The Heat Mittens Bernie Sanders Style by Marly Bird. (My mittens were inspired by the mittens Bernie Sanders wore, and I have no affiliation with him or with the original mittens. These are a fashion statement, not a political statement.)

The original mittens were made of recycled sweaters, cut up, and sewn together. I’ve designed colorwork patterns in the knit and crochet patterns that look similar to the ones that Bernie wore. I designed my patterns in worsted weight yarn in the round.
