Potholder

Comments: Ok, you smelled me out... this is not exactly a new pattern, but essentially an evolution of my Flag Potholder; having used it a lot in my kitchen; I decided to crochet another one, but I changed the pattern a bit. I found it nicer, so I decided to write out the new pattern.

Size : 17 x 19 cm. (6 1/2 " x 7 1/2")

Material : Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn ( we call it "Poor Cotton", but a yarn like "Sugar&Cream should be good), color A=bluette, B=Red, C= Yellow, Hook no.4 (US=G/6);you may want to give a look to my virtual store if you need materials.

Stitches :ch, sc, dc

Difficulty: easy

Directions

Tip: do not cut yarn when joining a new color, but drop it and take it again after two rows. The sceaps will be hidden by the border.

Start with A, 22 +1 ch

1. sc in ea ch; 2 ch, turn

2.* 2 dc in next sc, sk a sc*; Repeat * to * along Row;2 ch, turn; join B,

3.* 2 dc in next skipped sc*; Repeat * to * along Row;2 ch, turn; join C

4.* 2 dc in next skipped dc of 2nd-below Row, sk a dc of 2nd-below Row*; Repeat * to * along Row;2 ch, turn; join A,

5-21.Repeat Row 4, changing color at each Row. Cut thread

Border

Join A

1. A: sc all around, making 3 sc in borders; join B

2. B: *(sc in next sc) 3 times, (3 ch,sl st in 3rd ch) = picot*; Repeat * to * all around, making 3 sc in corner sc, and crocheting (sc, 6 ch, sc) in last corner (loop of potholder). Cut thread, weave in ends.

N.B.

Substitute ever (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
- first sc with 1 ch, sc;
- first hdc with 2 ch;
- first dc with 3 ch;
- first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
