Potholders ‘Star Chef’ – A Double Face Knitting Instruction

Whether for the star chef in the family or for the season of stars in your own kitchen, these potholders are always well received. Made in gold and white, they are an elegant decoration for any kitchen and a nice compliment for the chef.
Actually, I can also imagine the potholders in a colour that matches your bathroom as washcloths.
These instructions describe how to knit a practical potholder set consisting of two matching potholders that will be a real eye-catcher in any kitchen.
The potholders are knitted using the double face technique. You can find a free basic pattern on the double face technique in my store at: https://www.crazypatterns.net/en/items/97086/double-face-knitting-a-tutorial.
