Betty's Marbled Oven Mitt | Summer Kitchen Series

1:29:00 PM


I have the third installment of my Summer Kitchen Series for you all!

In case you missed the first two installments of the Kitchen Series using Lion Brand cotton yarns find them HERE {coasters} and HERE {bumpy scrubby dishcloth}.




It's a really fun oven mitt with a marbled effect - this is achieved by crocheting 3 different colored strands together at once. You could use 3 strands of the same color for a solid oven mitt. This mitt works up so quickly and the best part? It could double as a bath mitt!

Be sure to use cotton yarn and the same hook size that I use (an L 8mm hook) so that you get a very tight stitch. This may be a bit uncomfortable to crochet as working tight stitches with 3 strands feels different from stitching along normally, but it is essential to this oven mitt protecting from the heat of the oven.

To protect further against a hot pan, line this mitt with a thick fabric or quilt batting. Although, this pattern creates a thick crochet oven mitt so you should be just fine.





As far as sizing, this mitt is a bit of a slimmer fit, fitting snuggly on an adult woman's hand. I created this pattern a bit smaller because I hate when an oven mitt slips off - what good does it do protecting against a hot oven while slipping and sliding? No good, I tell ya!

Make this mitt for your own kitchen or give it as a housewarming or hostess gift with a batch of cookies!
