This is a super easy, pretty and very functional item that will certainly be a necessity in the kitchen! Works up quickly for that last minute gift. I added photos to make the pattern even more easy. No excuse to burn your hands or fingers trying to remove that hot bowl or package from the microwave. I have several of my own and they are wonderful and a must have! In addition, it only takes a minimum amount of knowledge in crochet as this pattern only uses sc, and ss, uses a small amount of 100% cotton, and I included a printable care and safety page for your convenience.
