These are not my invention. My grandmother had potholders like this. I recently found them again and wanted to make some for myself, to use at home and to keep the memory alive.
They work up quickly and you won’t need much yarn for them. Use any cotton leftovers that you have in your stash, 3 different colours, one colour will use up a little more than the other two. Finished size of mine is 17 x 17 cm.
Yardage given is for a set of two.
The English version of the pattern uses American crochet terms.
