My little girl loves to help in the kitchen and play along side me as I cook and clean and potter around, so when she received a beautiful timber kitchen for her birthday and immediately grabbed my oven mitt, I knew she had to have one. I must send enormous amounts of credit to Alex at Moonstitches - it was her oven mitt she made for me as part of an earlier backtack which inspired this whole episode. I've used her mitt every single day - it is very much part of our kitchen and my life in the kitchen. I have often looked at it and thought I should make one....but hers is so lovely and simple and beautifully made that I can't bear to not use that particular one. But I can make Pia one of her own which fits her and doesn't wave around and prohibit her grabbing onto anything because it is so large...
And now you can make your child one too. I have done a simple pattern instruction sheet with template in .pdf form to download. You can use whatever material you want, change the dimensions etc and make it your own. It should fit a child up to about 8 years old, maybe even older. I hope you enjoy making it!
