SO FAR, THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE MY FAVORITE POTHOLDER DESIGN FOR MY KITCHEN - simple, and pretty. I actually designed this several months ago - finally got around to posting it.

 

 

I am using red and white cotton for my kitchen - bought 2 14-oz cones - will buy more as i need them.

 

my own design - very simple cable

REPEAT till desired size

 

TRIM - with WHITE, SC 2 rows; in corners, do 2SC, CH, 2SC; THEN, with RED, DC one row; with 2DC, CH1, 2DC in corners; at end, don’t cut, instead, fasten off, then CH20, SL into beginning of CH20 - makes the hanging loop.

It looks very pretty and easy to make too. My favorite kind.

It should be made of 100% cotton or 100% wool, to provide heat protection and not succumb to the heat itself. Acrylic can melt under high-temp conditions.
