For Christmas I wanted to make something more 'sophisticated' for my mom and my boyfriend's parents. They all like to cook and I'd always wanted to try making some potholders, so I scoured Ravelry and found these
flower potholders. With the pattern in hand I figured out the color schemes of the kitchens and bought some cotton yarn. FYI: it's important to use 100% cotton yarn for potholders because acrylic melts. Plus cotton is sturdier.
For my mom:
The yellow apparently didn't want to be photogenic.
For my boyfriend's parents:
All together now!
A tip if you want to make them: connect the petals at stitch 9 (counted down from the stitch at the tip of the petal on either side).
I was VERY pleased with how these turned out. They look complicated but are actually very easy.
