Thanks for the pattern! Is it thick enough to use as a oven Mitt?

Thanks Sarah.
I've used it to move things quickly from the oven to the top of the stove. You could make it thicker by using 2 strands instead of one.

I have the time to crochet this lovely project but not the COTTON yarn (yet). On SSD and money is tight, though time is generous. Ania

Love this pattern :) As some people have commented on how thin it is with cotton I thought I'd mention recycled tshirt yarn. It's very good for heat! Making this for a wedding present :) Thanks!!

**NOT TOO THIN!! PERFECT!! Just wanted to say I made this with the cotton yarn and I've used it several times! I just now made some tater tots in the oven at 400°F and this oven mitt is NOT too thin. It's perfect. I even carefully tested by holding the pan as long as possible (ready to put it down if needed) and I did not feel burning heat. Just warmth. So, in conclusion. this pattern is easy, fun, and functional!! LOVE IT! <3

I would love to make this for my son but I'm not sure if it will be big enough. He is 6'8" and has VERY large hands. I don't know how to alter patterns. Any suggestions?

I think I did something like this by accident. I did the pattern with two strands of yarn and the oven mitt came out very large. Would Probably work for your son

Jason said...

I am working on this oven mitt but I am confused. I am at the thumb opening and it says:
Skip 1st 14 sc, ch 10 complete around with 1 sc in each sc (36 sc). Continue around until piece measures 10.6 inches or 27 cm. Place a marker on each side with 18 sc between each marker.
If you have 40 sc and skip 14 you should have 26 instead of 36. Is that supposed to be skip 4? Thank you in advance. I will be waiting for your answer. Jerri Lipka

I made these for my Son & Daughter-in-law using a thermal stitch making them super thick. They love them and use them all the time. I think I may make them for myself because I not only burn my fingers but my forearms so I will be making mine longer. I'll let you know how I make out. Thanks so much for this wonderful pattern.
