We love an unlikely style icon! Bernie Sanders was one of the unexpected trendsetters of Wednesday's Inauguration and the subject of millions of memes. Rocking the 'grumpy grandpa' chic to a tee, with a touch of 'just nipping to the shops' look, the US senator's handmade knitted mittens have set the internet on fire! Here's how to knit or crochet your very own dadcore mitts with our round up of Sanders-style fair-isle patterns! Plus a few extra cute Bernie inspired patterns!
