I reverse engineered a chicken potholder that I inherited from my grandmother. The pattern is available as a Google Doc here:

Gauge doesn’t really matter. I used a superwash wool because I wanted it to be washable and to have the heat-resisting qualities of wool.

The white and brown potholders with red comb and wattle are the originals from Grandma.
