 Checked Hot Pad / Pot Holder 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 


IT IS FRIDAY FUNDAY!

I designed a Checked Washcloth / Dish Cloth about
 four years ago and I was recently asked if I had
 a matching pot holder. I did not, but I do now!


And I really love how they all turned out.
Get In Your yarn stash and make all sorts of colors, 
or make a matching set. You can make them 1 thickness,
 or 2 thicknesses for added safety.

 Just have so much fun and
 learn how to crochet the checkered pattern. 
It is fun and easier than you think.
And Can make for any season, holiday or occasion.


Get in your yarn stash and stitch a bunch of them up.
