Great Tits

How about a lovely small project for a change.

I love watching the birds in my garden and we have a large population of great tits that make me smile on a daily basis. I’ve created this pattern about a year and a half ago and have used it for cushion covers, laptop bags, etc… Now came the time to share it with you.

This pattern includes charts (DC’s marked with X) and written instructions for potholders and coasters and a larger chart and written instructions for you to incorporate these cute little birds into any project.

I made the potholders and coasters using Budgetyarn Cotton DK and also did some coasters in Phildar Coton 3. Exact yarn estimates are given in the pattern.

For a double sided potholder in Budgetyarn Cotton DK you need just over half a skein for colour A and one skein + a bit for colour B.

For a double sided coaster you will get two coasters out of one skein for colour A and one skein for colour B.

You can use any yarn and corresponding hook size you like, but I do recommend using 100% cotton for potholders.

Pattern is available in English with US crochet terms and Dutch and comes with an introduction to mosaic crochet and links to additional tutorials.

Happy hooking!
