This looks so great! I am definitely going to try this pattern out! Has anyone tried this yet? Do the mitts actually stand up against the heat from the oven? I have so many ideas on colors for this, especially since you use 4 strands at a time! This would be a great house warming gift, too!

Simple yet a kitchen necessity for everyone. I actually never knew that trivets, hot pads and oven mitts were to be made with cotton yarn because any other yarn will not be heat resistant. If there is one thing you should know when browsing all these lovely kitchen patterns, you should know THAT! Most important thing. I like the color of these! Oven mitt patterns seem to be hard to come by...

Can anyone convert this over to knitting? It should have both, crochet & knitted. I prefer a knitted one.. Help anyone? Judy

Remember you need to use cotton yarn or other heat resistant yarn. Acrylic yarns will melt....Be sure it is safe for heat. Otherwise looks lovely! Will try this using cotton--peaches and creme,,,,

You are EXACTLY right! And for those who think otherwise? If you use acrylic yarns it doesn't even take all that much heat to cause it to melt! I know, I learned the VERY hard way! thanks for posting that lomamiller.......

I was wondering about the 4 strands, but when i bought the yarn, I only found 3 balls of 100g each. So I only used 3 strands. The only problem is that the mittens become less thick than the original, and with bigger holes. If I use a smaller hook, then they come out smaller. That's all. I'm going for the bigger and looser mittens, and they are very pretty! Almost too pretty to use!

There were a few comments on whether its (1) ball or (4)......can this be answered please? Why have the option to leave comments if their not answered? I am going with 4 balls if I receive no reply... crochet 4 tog must be 4 balls. Hopefully the typo will be corrected for those inexperienced crocheters.

This is probably going to sound stupid, but if you just have one ball of yarn, how do you crochet using four strands??? Don't laugh....I'm a beginner out here obtaining knowledge!!

Definitely Crochet! It is to work much faster than knitting; although I do knit too but mostly crochet.

These are really Nice!! I definitely choose crochet for this group. I think it would be more fair if it was knit/crochet of the same item.

will have to try this one. With 4 strands held together it just might be heatproof enough to actually use! ;o)

Did anyone try these yet? Do they take 1 or 4 balls of yarn? They look great!!! Just would like to know. I really don't want to make 4 sets of the same color if it only takes 1 ball.

I would like to see the answer to question on comment 1, is it 1 ball or 4? Thank you!

I'm sorry, but I'm confused. It says one ball of yarn is needed, but then says use 4 strands at a time...? Could you clarify what "use 4 strands together" means? I can't wait to crochet these mitts! Thanks!!

Just wondering if you ever got a response. I was wondering the same thing.

Hi Susanbeauchamp7--Thanks for the comment. That does seem strange. I checked in with the original pattern on Bernat.com and it says the same thing. Perhaps you cut the one ball of yarn into 4 equal strands?
