This versatile piece works beautifully as a potholder, trivet, or a bright country-kitchen accent for your home.

Perfect for adventurous beginners and intermediate crocheters with some colourwork experience, the pattern includes:

Step-by-step explanations of all stitches used

Both US and UK crochet terminology throughout

Each panel is worked in modified single crochet, alternating front and back loops for a neat, ridged texture. The two sides are then joined to create a sturdy, reversible finish. The motifs are made using basic intarsia or tapestry crochet techniques, so some familiarity with colourwork is recommended.

The sample was made using Drops Paris 100% Cotton in the following shades:

17 (Off White)

67 (Wheat)

12 (Red)

37 (Bordeaux)

25 (Moss Green)

68 (Almond)

The pattern works well with any aran-weight cotton yarn (or similar) and is perfect for using up leftover yarn in your favourite fresh, fruity palette.
