Gemini is a well-known constellation in the night sky. The giant star Pollux is the brightest one and the closest neighbor to his brother Castor. In Greek mythology, they were twins, but had different fathers. One was immortal while the other was mortal, but they were always together, just like their namesakes in the sky.
The pattern of the Pollux mittens is the same as on Pollux socks. It shows Pollux in center, always together with his slightly smaller, but no less beautiful twin.
