‍I grew up loving the classic V-2 style rocketships in Bugs Bunny cartoons and watching Kirk and Spock outsmart aliens in space. I still love good science fiction that includes plausible theories of relativity, folding space, terraforming or alien ecology. But my fave rocketships are still the sleek bullet shaped and completely improbable ones for landing you find in Tintin comics and 1950’s movies. So, I may not be able to do rocket science, but I have made a rocket mitten pattern that you will love to infinity and back again.

This pattern is recommended for knitters who have experience knitting in the round, reading charts and working in stranded colorwork, but don’t let that scare you, its easier than it looks. The mittens shown were knit in sock / fingering weight for Women’s medium / Men’s small but you can also use smaller needles to make a child sized mitten or DK weight and larger needles to make a larger mittens.
