This pattern is available only with the purchase of the Yule Lads Advent in 2024.

One way to keep Stubby from making off with your pots is to just take them to the table, buffet-style! This potholder will help protect (or “vernda” in Icelandic) your table from your hot dishes.

The front and back squares are worked separately, each in the round from the center outward. Once completed, the squares are joined around the edges, including a hanging loop.

Charts come with permission (and actually encouragement) from Ornaments and Patterns found in Iceland, put together by The Icelandic Handcraft Association. This book is an amazing work of art and true labor of love to preserve and showcase Icelandic
colorwork motifs. It’s a treasured part of Kirstin’s knitting library and is highly recommended as an
addition to any knitting library.
