These oven mitts are made holding two strands of yarn together and it is the perfect thickness to use when taking hot pans out of your oven. I have been using my own oven mitts for years and do not use anything else.
I have used handicrafter cotton and peaches and cream and sugar n cream yarn for these mitts.
If you need a bigger mitt size you can up your needle size which I have done which makes a larger size mitt using the same stitches.
for the optional hanging loop you will need a crochet hook. I used a 4.5 mm hook but you can even use your finger if you don’t have a hook.
The pattern uses garter st and you will need to know how to do increases and decreases.
3rd and 4th image are child sized mitts.
I did not worry about gauge however I did knit my mitts some what tightly as I didn’t want any gaps in my work that would allow heat through the mitt.
I had a newbie knitter make the pattern without any assistance. So beginner friendly.
Now Available in 3 Sizes: Child Small, Child's Large/Woman's Small, Adult
These would make awesome mommy and me gifts for the bakers you know. These would make perfect gifts for the young child who has an easy bake oven as well.
