Who doesn't dream of faraway places from time to time? This potholder is perfect for lovers of faraway places and especially for Africa fans. This potholder features four different African animal motifs against a sunset or evening sky.
If you like needlework and also want to try a new technique, this tutorial is for you. The doubleface technique is not difficult to learn, but offers the possibility to create truly individual potholders. Whether for yourself or as a gift for a loved one is up to you.
The special thing about these potholders is that you can create two completely different sides for one potholder. The technique also makes the potholders nice and thick and therefore insulating excellently. At the same time, you save on sewing the threads - except for the finish - as they are worked directly into the potholder.
If there is anything in the instructions that you do not understand or if you have any questions about the technique, please simply ask by e-mail.
Skills Required / What You'll Receive
Basic knowledge in crochet (chain stitch, single crochet, slip stitch) is required.
Level of difficulty: middle (for advanced)
Knowledge of the doubleface technique is not required. The technique is explained in detail in the instructions. If you are using this technique for the first time, you should first crochet a small test piece according to the instructions in order to grasp the principle. After that, implementation is not difficult anymore. The difficulty is due to using many colors.
With this download you will receive a detailed, 16-page PDF file with the description and photos of the technique in German and English (US terminology). The description contains the graphic counting templates and colored number blocks for each row. In addition, instructions of the basic technique of doubleface crochet with enlarged photos and a video tutorial are provided.
Size Information
The finished pot holders have a size of approx. 18 cm x 17,5 cm.
Materials List
A pair of potholders requires 1 ball of wool in yellow, black, and three matching orange and red colors (e.g. Schachenmayr Catania or comparable quality: 100 % cotton, length 125 m per 50 g) and a crochet hook suitable for the thickness of the wool.
If you like my instructions, I will be happy to receive a positive review.

Hi, wunderschön…ich suche exakt solche Motive für eine Decke und Kissenhüllen.
Doubleface wird da leider zu dick.
Hättest Du da evtl. auch eine Anleitung?
Hallo,
derzeit habe ich nur die Motive für die Doubleface-Topflappen. Selbstverständlich kann man diese Motive auch normal bzw. In Tapestry-Technik häkeln, dann wären sie nicht zu dick. Allerdings werden die Reihen beim normalen Häkeln etwas flacher, das Motiv wäre dann also nicht mehr quadratisch bzw. es müsste ca. alle 10 Reihen eine zusätzliche Reihe eingefügt werden (siehe Hinweise zu Topflappen-Vorlage „Dirndl und Lederhose“).
Da manche mit meiner Beschreibung der Grundtechnik des Doubleface-Häkelns nicht zurecht kamen, habe ich die Grundanleitung grundlegend überarbeitet und mit neuen Fotos und Grafiken versehen. Ich hoffe, jetzt ist die Anleitung für jeden verständlich. Zur Unterstützung gibt es noch ein Video, in dem gezeigt wird, wie die Technik funktioniert. Wer weitere Fragen hat, kann sich gerne per E-Mail oder PN an mich wenden.
Hallo. Tolles Motiv. Ich habe das noch nie gemacht und werde es versuchen. Ich verstehe nur nicht ganz wie die unterschiedlichen Seiten zustande kommen. Häkel ich auf der hinreihe motiv 1 und bei der rückreihe motiv 2 ? In dem Video habe ich gesehen, dass Stück wird am Ende einer Reihe gar nicht gewendet? Oh man, ich möchte das gerne verstehen.
Hallo! Ja, es ist genau so: man häkelt bei der Hinreihe Motiv 1 und bei der Rückreihe Motiv 2. Das Häkelstück wird am Ende jeder Reihe doch gewendet (auch wenn es im Video vieleicht nicht so aussieht, vermutlich liegt es daran, dass das Probestück nicht sehr groß ist). Bei weiteren Fragen gerne eine E-Mail direkt an mich. Viele Grüße und viel Spaß und Erfolg beim Häkeln.
