How to Knit a Mitten Pot Holder
A kitchen isn’t complete without pot holders and oven gloves, as they are essential to safety. It conforms easily to pot handles when you grab them, leaving heavy hot items feeling secure in your grasp.
The trend in pot holders and oven mitts alike has been toward higher-tech materials and novel designs in recent years, but traditionalists will love this old school pot holder. It will likely remind you of the ones your grandmother has used since before you were born.
Fluffy yarn provides better heat protection than flat fabrics. They are available in a variety of colors to coordinate with any kitchen décor. Bright and cheery yarn colored pot holders are so cute, you’ll proudly hang them in your kitchen
These feel soft and comfortable to touch—you might be inspired to bake more just to have an excuse to put them through their paces. But remember, though these can definitely take a spin in your washer, you’ll want to hang them up to dry to extend their life.
In this tutorial by Anne Weil, you will find a step-by-step guide to get your project on the roll. This free pattern helps to create a Mitten Potholder by pulling one end from the inside of the ball and one end from the outside of the ball to hold double from one ball.
So throughout the project, you will be working with two strands of knits and purls, combined with single crochet to make a rectangle or a square. To add on to the beauty of the mittens, end with pleather tassels by braiding 4 strands of suede lace.
