New Zealand is such a beautiful country – unfortunately it’s at the opposite end of the world from us (I live in Switzerland). Wherever you live, with these potholders you can bring New Zealand’s symbols, the kiwi bird and the fern leaf, into your home. And dream of travelling around there…

These potholders are knitted in the Double Knitting Technique. Thus, they look great on both sides.

Size: With a gauge 19 sts x 27 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4“ x 4“), size of the finished potholders is approx. 24 cm x 24 cm (9,6” x 9,6”)

With the pattern you will get three pdf documents: general instructions on how to knit the potholders including many pictures, and two knitting charts for the motifs

Techniques used:
double knitting worked in rows
invisible cast on / bind off (in the pattern you will find links to helpful online video tutorials for this method)
