Bear Bakes is a pattern for oven mittens, designed to keep you inspired to bake more of those tasty pies while keeping your hands protected. The paw pads add an extra layer of thickness to already chunky mittens, and there’s also an option to stuff them with some toy stuffing for extra heat protection.
The pattern is easy to follow with written and photo instructions. It makes for a super fun and quick autumn project, suitable for knitters who are transitioning between Beginner and Intermediate levels.

Who says that adults can’t have cute and practical things combined? Bear Bakes will change your mind!
