Snowflake Double-thick Diagonal Potholder
"This snowflake crochet potholder pattern is worked on the diagonal, forming two thick layers for optimal protection from hot pans. It features the knit-like waistcoat stitch, which mimics your favorite cozy sweater. You’ll follow the color chart, using the fair isle technique to create the white snowflake design on a deep blue background (or use any solid contrasting color for color b). If you haven’t done crochet colorwork before, this is a great small project to try it out. The color changes are simple and I’ve included a full video tutorial with an accurate description of how to create the project. Crocheters of any skill level will enjoy this particular tutorial!"
