Western Larch
Featuring the silhouette of the western larch tree and a tidy seed stitch border, this deluxe nature-inspired potholder is a great pattern for beginners or for those looking for a quick and relaxing project. The main body is worked in the round and folded to form a double thickness--a perfect opportunity to try circular knitting without the complexity of shaping. A back panel is added for ease of use, and an optional hanging tab adds some flair and utility. Celebrate a very cool tree while you cook!
