Decorate your kitchen with this yarn potholder! Show off your love of knitting or gift it to another knitter! Double knit, the potholder is reversible, with opposite colors on the reverse side. Use color changing yarn for interesting color combinations or solid colored yarn for a more classic look.
Work the potholder with or without the knitting needles. A separate chart is included to make a potholder with the yarn image only (no knitting needles). The finished size is approximately 7 inches by 7 inches (17.8 cm by 17.8 cm). The color work design is chart only, not written instructions.
Warning: This pattern is for creating a decoration only. The knitted item might not protect you from hot items, and contact with hot items could melt certain types of yarn. Please use caution.
