Potholder/trivet or mini mandala

This little number will work up quickly and is solid and double-sided to be useful in the kitchen. Grab some cotton scraps in 5 colors and a handful of stitch markers. Trust me, you’ll want the stitch markers at least for the first time.

Or, if you’re making a mini mandala, use any yarn you like with an appropriate sized hook. You’ll still want the stitch markers.
