Bring a touch of chunky charm to your kitchen with The Happy Potholder & Coaster Set. This beginner-friendly, quick-reward project is worked in simple garter stitch using un-spun wool held double on chunky 9.00 mm needles, creating a naturally heat-resistant and squishy shield for your countertops and dining tables.

Slipping the edge stitches gives a neat, chained border, while a slipped column running down the centre introduces a crisp, graphic spine that breaks up the texture. Just two 50g balls of yarn yield a complete, coordinated kitchen set containing one generous potholder and two matching coasters. It makes a wonderful housewarming present, host gift, or satisfying palette cleanser between larger makes!
