Here is my oven mitt! I'm super excited about this project because I have always wanted an oven mitt and now I have one! Yay!! I actually made this one after we arrived at our new place in Washington state, so it may have been June before I actually managed to make this one. Also, this one would be best explained in pictures, but I don't have the middle pictures to help explain so here it goes:
Pattern:
Row 1: chain 30 (or 35, depending on how big you want the base), slip stitch the ends together.
Row 2-8: chain 2, single crochet, slip stitch to the beginning of each row.
Row 9: single crochet 28 (or 32), slip stitch to the 7th (or 11th) stitch back, continue single crochet to the end of the row, slip stitch to the beginning.
~Main Part:
Row 10-14: single crochet the main part of the oven mitt ONLY, slip stitch to the beginning of each row.
Row 15-23: single crochet decreasing 2 stitches in the middle of each row, slip stitch to the beginning of each row.
Row 24: slip stitch the top closed so the main part of the oven mitt is flat. Cut yarn.
~Thumb:
Row 11-14: single crochet decreasing 2 stitches in each row, slip stitch to the beginning of each row.
Row 15: slip stitch the top closed so the thumb of the oven mitt is flat. Cut yarn.
~Wrist: (optional)
With the oven mitt up-side-down, crochet a "5-double stitch shell" as a border and finish as you would a blanket. [Other options include a triple stitch and triple-stitch shell. You can also add more rows to the wrist at the beginning or the end to make the oven mitt longer.]
~End: work yarn into the project.
Keep in mind, these patterns assume that you have some experience with crochet. If you want to learn and have no experience, or you are having trouble with these "patterns," please feel free to leave a comment and I will get back with you!
