NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• These oven mitts are knit in garter stitch in three separate pieces and sewn together. After assembly, they are felted by machine washing in hot water.

• The three mitts shown follow the same basic pattern; the only difference is the use of color. Use the Basic Oven Mitt pattern for stitch counts and shaping for all three designs, referring to the instructions for each individual design for color changes.

• To make mitts in a solid color, 2 balls of yarn are required.

• Slip stitches purlwise with yarn in front unless otherwise directed.
