These lovely potholders are a wonderful present – for Mother’s Day, for a wedding, for an anniversary or simply to say “I love you”. Due to the double knitting the potholders have two “front” sides. If you use finer yarn you can also make a soft washcloth or dishcloth. You could use the pattern also for a pillowcase, or for a sweater, or… I’m looking forward to your ideas!

For the motif "LOVE" are two different versions included:

• classic double knitting – the letters will appear mirrored on one side
• advanced double knitting – the letters will appear corrrectly on both sides

You will find a detailed explanation in the pattern as well as in the knitting chart.

More double knit patterns are available in my shop in this collection:
