Felted Pot Holders

I made these simple potholders recently. Here are some photos from a Sunday brunch and the pattern:


Yarn: Cascade 128 (100% bulky wool yarn)
Needles: Size 11 and Size I crochet hook

Cast on 30 stitches. Work in garter stitch (knit every row) until you have 28 ridges of garter stitch. The potholder should be square in shape.

Using contrasting yarn, single crochet one row around the edge of the potholder by crocheting three stitches and then skipping one stitch. Crochet a second row, crocheting in every stitch.

Create an 8" chain and tie off to form a loop for hanging. Felt in washing machine on regular cycle.
