Christmas gifts..potholders

[chrispersmom]

 

 

I made these for my sisster in law for christmas...I plan to make a spring/summer themed one with a flower of some kind and maybe a thanksgiving one with a turkey. They are double thickness crocheted together so that they really can be used. I sewed the decorations on at an angle so that they would be upright when hung on a cabinet door. I used peaches and cream cotton and the snowman is made from # 3 cotton thread. Pictures should be clickable.

Yes, for the appliques and for the potholders. The potholders are just simple hdc, made with an H hook, normally I would do sc so it would be tighter, but I know my sister in law and she won't use them. She won't want to get them dirty.

 

For the snowman, I just made some circles and sewed them together and the scarf is just a row of hdc and added fringe. When I do ornies with them I use puff paint for the face and buttons, but this time I just sewed it on...little x's. And the hat is just a few rows of hdc . The first row is longer, then on the second row I slip stitched over a little and then left off the last few stitches to make it look like a hat. If you can understand anything I just said..
