Inspired by Miami Modern architecture, this potholder uses a reverse filet crochet technique. While traditional filet crochet designs are created by filling in blocks among a net of open spaces, for this project, the spaces are kept to a minimum. Be sure to use strongly contrasting colors for the front and back to get the full MiMo effect.
