How to Crochet a Black Oven Mitt

You’ll Need:
50g of black 100% acrylic yarn (292m/100g);
Odds of white yarn;
Crochet hook 4;
Safety eyes;
Pink buttons.
Instructions
Make 30 chain stitches with black yarn and circle them into a ring. Then, work with single crochets around, creating a hole for the thumb in 20 rows. For this, make 8 chain stitches, skip 8 stitches of the previous row, and fasten the chain with a single crochet in the next stitch.
Continue working around for 20 more rows. Then, decrease 4 stitches in every row until there are 8 stitches left. Cut the yarn and tighten the hole.
For the thumb, make 18 single crochets and create 11 rows of single crochets around. Decrease 3 stitches in the next 3 rows. Cut the yarn and tighten the holes.
For the ears, make 3 chain stitches with black yarn, circle them into a ring.
1st Row: 6 single crochets in the center of the ring;
2nd Row: Make single crochets, with 3 single crochets in every 2nd stitch.
For the face, make 6 chain stitches with white yarn.
1st-3rd Rows: Make single crochets around, increasing 3 stitches in turns.
Assembly
Sew the details to the base. Glue the eyes, sew the nose with a button, and embroider the whiskers. Make a chain of 15 chain stitches. Then, create the 2nd oven mitt in symmetry.
You CAN'T use acrylic yarn it has to be cotton because acrylic will MELT and you will get BURNED!!! I am surprised you are using and telling people to do this!!! You should DEFINITELY take this post down!!! Also acrylic is FLAMMABLE!!!
Absoltely correct! Use cotton
Thank you for your remark, I'll correct the yarn in the pattern, of course, it should be cotton
I would think these kitten potholders would not be thick enough to prevent burns, they are cute but not as potholders!
They serve as decoration element in the kitchen
These are very cute. I also would use cotton yarn. I suggest lining them as well to ensure one doesn’t get burned from the yarn separating from a hot pan or plate… you can do this by making your mitt, tracing the exterior, draw a line approx 1/2” or more inside traced line, cut and use as a pattern for heat protective fabric and a decorative flannel if desired. See up perimeter except at wrist end. Turn to right side and insert, turn under wrist hem and hand sew.
Acrylic will melt, but cotton will burn. Choose the one you want.
I think it would make a great hot pad to set hot dishes on. Otherwise, line it.
