Pot Holder Knitting Pattern

Bring kitchen charm to your handmade collection with the Pot Holder Knitting Pattern! This beginner-friendly project is perfect for crafting a bold, diagonal-patterned square in about 4 hours. Worked in soft cream cotton-blend yarn, the pot holder builds a striking X design simply by shifting your knit columns row by row, then finishes with a clean picked-up border worked in the round. This project includes step-by-step photo instructions for casting on with the long-tail method, knitting the shifting diagonal pattern row by row, picking up stitches around all four edges, and shaping neat corners with the KYOK increase. The finished pot holder looks like a boutique home store find, but the satisfying, easy-to-follow construction makes it an ideal first big knitting project.
