About the Pattern
Decorate your kitchen for the holidays with this cute gingerbread man potholder! It also makes a great quick gift! Double knit, the potholder is reversible, with opposite colors on the reverse side. Use color changing yarn for interesting color combinations or solid colored yarn for a more classic look.
The finished size is approximately 7 inches by 7 inches (17.8 cm by 17.8 cm).
Warning: This pattern is for creating a decoration only. The knitted item might not protect you from hot items, and contact with hot items could melt certain types of yarn. Please use caution.
Materials
- Size 5 US (3.75 mm) needles.
- Size 4 US (3.5 mm) needles (optional for a neater cast on edge).
- Approximately 50 yards (45.7 m) each of two contrasting colors of worsted weight yarn makes one potholder.
- Needle to weave in ends.
Double Knitting Tutorial
I have a double knitting tutorial that covers casting on, binding off, edging, and reading basic charts. It’s great for beginners, and experienced double knitters might also pick up something new.
