Day 2: Pot Holder

History: This pattern is very dear to my heart. My great grandmother started this pattern and it was passed on to me by my great aunt. Both of these wonderful ladies have influenced my life so much and they are greatly missed.

Yarn: Sugar and Cream (2), Peaches and Cream (2), or RED HEART® “Super Saver®” (1). I have used all three types of yarn. Sugar and Cream & Peaches and Cream are a cotton yarn and you will need two skeins to make a set of pot holders. RED HEART® “Super Saver®” (1) is another yarn that I love. Depending on the size you can get two or three sets of pot holders from on skein.

Crochet Hook: H hook and yarn needle
