Flamingos are beautiful and fascinating animals. No wonder they are omnipresent – on clothes, fabrics or accessories. These two adorable flamingos bring joy into my kitchen everyday. I hope they will make you happy, too!

These beautiful potholders are knitted in the Double Knitting Technique. Thus, they have two good looking sides and they protect you from the heat.
