Pattern notes:
This is the fifth in my Sea Creatures Potholder Series. If you’d like to see the others, you can find them by going to my Ravelry Designer Shop.
I recommend using a natural fiber for potholders, such as cotton or wool. This one was knitted using 100% cotton from hobbii.com named Cotton Kings 8/4 and Cotton Kings 8/4 Soft Print. You can use whatever colors you like!
