Here is Blip in his star-lit universe. The left hand features a spaceship, a planet and a falling star, or choose the mirror-image chart for the option of Blip’s twin on the left mitten.

The Blip pattern includes charts and instructions for both kids’ and women’s size mittens. The child’s mittens are worked in fingering weight yarn and the adult sizes are worked in worsted weight yarn with an extended chart for extra length.

This design was produced in partnership with North Light Fibers as part of their Beacon program. I’m grateful to North Light Fibers for their partnership.

Kits for child’s size mittens are available here.

Kits for woman’s size mittens are available here.
