Individual letters available for $2.99 on Ravelry

Knit reversible coasters or potholders with your favorite initial or spell out words with the full set! The Alphabet Coasters/Potholders are quick to knit and make a great gift.

The Alphabet Coasters/Potholders pattern contains the charts for all 26 letters of the alphabet with two choices of size, either a coaster or a potholder. The Alphabet Coasters/Potholders can be worked using non-mirrored double knitting so that each letter is legible on both sides, which makes them fully reversible with opposite colors on the reverse side. Charts for traditional double knitting are included as well. The letters H, I, O, and T are symmetrical, so only traditional double knitting charts are needed. The color work design is chart only, not written instructions.

The coasters are made with fingering weight yarn, and the finished size is approximately 3.75″ (9.5 cm) by 3.75″ (9.5 cm).

The potholders are made with worsted weight yarn, and the finished size is approximately 6.75″ (17.1 cm) wide by 7″ (17.8 cm) tall.

Disclaimer: This pattern is for creating decorations only. The knitted potholders might not protect you from hot items, and contact with hot items could melt certain types of yarn. Please use caution.
