The Offset Potholders are worked in the round from a provisional cast-on, creating a double-layered fabric. A simple two-colour pattern repeat forms the offset design in stockinette stitch. Both ends are neatly closed using a three-needle bind-off and a knitted I-cord loop is added for hanging.

Skill level: Intermediate
Knitting skills required: provisional cast on, knit, purl, knit 2 together, 3-needle bind-off & I-cord.

Finished size: The finished potholder measures roughly 6.5“ (16.5 cm) in width by 6.75“ (17 cm) in height (not including the hanging loop.

You will need two colours of 24/7 Cotton to make this pattern, one skein of each colour is enough to make two complementary potholders by reversing the main and contrast colours!

A knitting chart for the colorwork section is included in the pattern along with photo tutorials for the following sections:

• Provisional cast-on
• 3 Needle bind-off (top)
• I-cord & securing the hanging loop
• Bottom bind-off
