Easy
If you can follow the exercises from my free basic double face knitting pattern (https://www.crazypatterns.net/en/items/97086/double-face-knitting-a-tutorial), you can knit this potholder.

Knitted in double face: 26 stitches = 10 cm wide. 36 rules = 10 cm high.
With this stitch sample the potholder will measure approx. 21.5 cm x approx. 21.5 cm.

• Schachenmayr Catania, 100% cotton, 50g = approx. 125m.
100g each in white and 100g in black. I used a total of 60g per color (i.e. 30g per color per potholder). However, the amount needed may vary a little depending on your personal knitting style. You can also use a different cotton with a similar yardage.
