Just a pattern created for my own personal use… but since I had a decent color chart image I figured I’ll share! I made this a few years ago and just came across the chart again; I don’t have a good picture of finished mittens with the Rebel Alliance logo (although I do have firefighter Maltese cross & EMS Star of Life ones using the same background), so I’ll probably ask the first person or few who make them to feature your photo on the pattern page! Charts for the fire & EMS designs are also provided. (I’ll just mention Star Wars by name too, so so it pops up in search results!)

This can easily be modified to include any simple circular-ish image you can draw in the same number of grid squares.

Knit on size 3 needles, this pattern fits most women. Size can be adjusted for larger women or not-too large men’s hands by going up to a size 4 or 5. For larger men’s, you might want to use slightly thicker yarn as well.

This pattern is free to use, but please consider making a donation to Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum. If you’re shopping for yarn rather than using your stash, please consider ordering from my local yarn shop (Blue Heron Knittery in Decorah IA).

I don’t mind if you knit items to sell using this pattern, or modify it and publish your own version. Have fun!
