Practically Perfect Pot Holders
"I was so happy to learn a new stitch that makes really chunky and thick potholders. It is important to use 100% cotton as it is great for withstanding heat and won't melt like acrylic yarns. This means these potholders can double as a hot pad or trivet. I did double up the cotton so they really protect your hands from the heat. Any worsted weight cotton with work for the Practically Perfect Potholders. I had some 100% cotton in my stash and used that. I love the neutral colour and they are totally washable."
