About the Pattern

Dance along with these fun skeletons as you knit these spooky scary potholders! They’re the perfect decorations for celebrating the spooky season!

This ebook includes the set of all four potholders.

Double knit, the potholders are fully reversible, with opposite colors on the reverse side. Use color changing yarn for interesting color combinations (gradual color changes work best) or solid colored yarn for a more classic look. Try a glow-in-the-dark yarn for an extra spooky effect!

The finished size of each potholder is approximately 7 inches by 7 inches (17.8 cm by 17.8 cm). The color work for the design is chart only, not written instructions.

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.

Yarn
• Approximately 50 yards (45.7 m) each of two contrasting colors of worsted weight yarn. Approximately a total of 200 yards (183 m) each of two contrasting colors of worsted weight yarn for all four potholders.

Needles
• Size 5 US (3.75 mm) needles for everything but the cast on.
• Optional: Size 4 US (3.5 mm) needles for a neater cast on edge.

Notions
• Needle to weave in ends.
