Potholders ‘Cooking Love’ – A Double Knitting Instruction

Food tastes best when cooked with love. Potholders with hearts for the chef or cook who lovingly prepares the food are always a joy.
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
