This quick and easy crochet project can help you in two ways: holding your project, notions, books, remotes, or other sofa or chair side interests with its handy pocket for stashing the essentials you need, or these double-padded mitts can protect your hands and your clothes from hot casserole dishes as you take them from the oven or transport them to a potluck, family gathering, church supper, or other food-filled event.

Using only chain and single crochet stitches, these craft pockets/ casserole oven mitts are easy enough for a beginning crocheter and fast enough to crochet for a quick gift for your favorite crafter or chef!

Many thanks to my wonderful testers: FrontPorchKnitter, MrsSocks, and Staarrkatt!
