Are you or someone you know a music lover? This potholder will make a great addition to your kitchen or a unique gift for a friend. This potholder is worked flat using two-color double knitting which creates a thick reversible fabric. Heat protection varies by yarn and gauge, use with caution.

Be aware the music note image is also reversed on the back side.

Finished size: Approximately 8 inches wide × 7.5 inches high, excluding the hanging loop.

Materials: Approximately 60 yards each of two contrasting colors of worsted-weight 100% cotton yarn, US 7 (4.5 mm) needles, a second needle for holding stitches, and a tapestry needle. The sample uses I Love This Cotton! in Dove and Black.

The PDF includes:
• A colorwork chart and chart-reading instructions
• Written construction and finishing instructions
• A quick-reference chart key
• Links to video tutorials for the two-color Italian cast-on, double knitting, selvedge edges, and Kitchener stitch.

The musical note design is charted; it is not written out row by row. Familiarity with knitting and purling is recommended, along with a willingness to learn double knitting and grafting. You may use whatever cast on and bind off you are comfortable with but the top and bottom edges will look different than the sample.

Use 100% cotton yarn for this project; avoid acrylic or other fibers that may melt when exposed to heat.
