Potholders "ANNA" - mosaic crochetpattern

I recently found these wonderful potholders in my mums stash. They once were a present from my long deceased grandmother Anna and must be about 40-45 years old.
Despite their old age, I find the pattern really beautiful and absolutely timeless. This is why I retraced the pattern and wrote it down for you.

The pattern includes pictures as well as a chart of the pattern. The title picture shows my work (colors 113 and 130). The other pictures show my grandmothers original (colors close to 240 and 436). The colors I chose, come real close to the original, but of course you can be creative and crochet in your very own favourite colors. All you need is one dark main color and a matching bright color for contrast.

If you know the basics about crocheting and are able to crochet with two colors in one row you should not have any problems. The pattern is quite easy. You'll be able to follow real quickly without having to look at the pattern much.

Required skills:
chains, single crochets, slip stich, crocheting in single rows (back and forth) as well as in closed rounds, working with two colors in one row

When using a crochet hook 3 mm the potholders will have a size of about 18x19 cm.
