Bernie Sanders Rocking Hand knitted Wool Mitten

We all know about the photo that went viral when in early 2021, a photograph of Bernie Sanders, the U.S. Senator from Vermont, took the internet by storm. The image captured Sanders sitting cross-legged in a folding chair during President Joe Biden’s inauguration, bundled up against the cold in a Burton snowboarding jacket and a pair of distinctive brown mittens.

The mittens, hand-knitted by a Vermont school teacher using repurposed wool and fleece made from recycled plastic bottles, became an iconic symbol overnight. The image of Sanders casually sitting with his mittens was turned into countless memes, spreading across social media platforms and sparking joy, humor, and a widespread appreciation for the humble, practical warmth of hand-knitted mittens. The viral moment also spotlighted the charm and value of handcrafted items in a world of fast fashion, bringing a moment of whimsicality to the otherwise formal political event.
