Designer’s description:
This is the first in a series of six mitt patterns inspired by a conversation with my friend, Arianna Frasca. Arianna loves the moon, and we both have perpetually cold hands. I decided, then, to use the moon as inspiration for each set of mitts. Earth’s moon has a prograde orbit. In other words, it orbits in the same direction that the sun spins. The twisty criss-crossing cables on these mitts remind me of the charts showing all the overlapping orbits of Jupiter’s many moons.
