Here's that extra pair of hands that you have often wished for in the kitchen. A pair of these tri color knitted oven mitts can be just that handy when attached to a crocheted cord and worn around the neck like the kindergarten set wear theirs when Mother wishes to guard against lost mittens and cold hands. Or you could attach a metal ring to each mitt and hang it near the stove. Never again will you have ugly burned splotches on the tops of your knuckles from reaching after the last baked potato that lurks back in the far corner of the oven.
