1:12th Scale Oven Gloves, Jar Covers & Basin Holder by Frances Powell
Project Overview
This downloadable crochet pattern from Buttercup Miniatures (CP 26) by designer Frances Powell provides instructions for creating three coordinated miniature kitchen accessories in 1:12th scale dollhouse proportions. The collection includes a pair of oven gloves, jam jar covers in two sizes, and a pudding basin holder—all designed to enhance miniature kitchen displays with authentic, handmade details.
What Is Being Made
- Oven Gloves: A pair of protective hand coverings measuring approximately 2 inches (5 cm) in length by ½ inch (1.5 cm) in width, sized appropriately for 1:12th scale dolls
- Jam Jar Covers: Two variations of decorative pot covers designed to fit jam jars at different scales—one measuring 3/8th inch (1 cm) diameter and another at 3/16th inch (0.5 cm) diameter
- Pudding Basin Holder: A functional accessory crafted to fit a ½-inch (1.25 cm) pudding basin, completing the miniature kitchen textile collection
Crochet Techniques & Stitches
This intermediate-level pattern utilizes fundamental crochet techniques suitable for miniature work. The primary stitches employed include:
- Chain stitch (ch): The foundational stitch used to create the base of each project
- Double crochet (dc): The main structural stitch providing fabric density and definition to the oven gloves and covers
- Half treble crochet (htr): Used selectively to create varied texture and drape in certain sections
- Treble crochet (tr): Incorporated for lighter, more open stitch areas where appropriate
- Slip stitch (sl): Applied for joining rounds and finishing edges neatly
The pattern specifies a gauge of 10 double crochet stitches across and 13 rows measuring ½ inch (1.25 cm), ensuring consistent sizing and proper fit for the dollhouse scale.
Materials Required
This pattern calls for extremely fine crochet materials appropriate for working at 1:12th scale:
Pudding Basin Holder: A 0.75 mm crochet hook with 5 yards (4.5 metres) of either No. 80 crochet cotton or No. 70 tatting thread
Jam Jar Covers: A 0.60 mm crochet hook with 3 yards (3 metres) of No. 100 crochet cotton or high-quality sewing thread. The pattern also recommends very thin ribbon for tying around the jar tops and optional embroidery threads for decorative embellishment
Oven Gloves: A 0.60 mm crochet hook with 20 yards (18.5 metres) of No. 100 crochet cotton or good-quality sewing thread
Difficulty Level & Craftsmanship
Rated as intermediate difficulty, this pattern is suitable for crocheters with foundational skills who are comfortable working with extremely fine thread and miniature-scale hooks. The small hook size (0.60–0.75 mm) and thread weight require steady hands, good lighting, and attention to detail. The variety of projects within one pattern—from simple covers to more structured gloves—offers a range of challenge levels within the intermediate category.
