Who doesn’t need a good potholder? Mine take a fair amount of abuse on a daily basis, dividing their time between protecting my hands and shielding my counter from hot pans. These handy kitchen accessories knit up fast. Make a whole pile of them to match your kitchen decor. With a little embellishment, they make great gifts. Using on skein of each of the colors featured here, you can make all of the potholders pictured and still have yarn leftover.

One skein each of Natural, Redwood, Dark Teal and Avocado were used in this project.
