Here is a pattern for a potholder or doily in a flower shape. I called it windrose, because the petals look a bit like the points of a compass.
It starts with a provisional CO, is knitted in short row parts and finished with grafting in garter stitch. Since this is a project with two colours that also uses short rows, it can be quite fiddly – especially at the beginning. It is NOT a beginner pattern.

Knitted in DK yarn, the piece measures 30 cm in diameter (from tip to tip). I also knitted the pieces in other yarn weights: The ones in fingering weight yarn, measure about 26 cm in diameter and the ones knitted in thread weight measure 23 cm in diameter.

The pattern PDF is 10 pages long and contains

• written row-by-row instructions for knitting this piece (4 pages) – including 19 illustration photos
• short photo tutorials for the following techniques: provisional CO with a crochet hook and how to undo it, grafting in garter stitch, short rows with wrap and turn and picking up the wraps, weaving in yarn while carrying it (backwards and forwards), crochet CO (at the edge of a knitted piece)

This project uses yarn in two colours, short rows and is really fiddly in the beginning - so it is definitely NOT a beginner pattern.
