Aftens oven mitt

Aftens oven mitt is a timeless and simple pattern based on aftens Christmas stocking. It is worked in thick wool that is lightly felted afterwards. The oven mitt is worked with a few simple techniques like increases, decreases and Kitchener’s stitch. Once the mitt is knitted and felted, it can be decorated with embroidery. There are some suggestions with instructions in the pattern. I hope this pattern can inspire many lovely gifts, perhaps an oven mitt for a great cook you love, or a baker in the family, a grandmother, a son or a good friend. I also hope that the smaller oven mitt can help to inspire the children in their play kitchens. Perhaps older children can participate in decorating their own mitts? Bring out the creativity and a ball of yarn.
