150 g colour 61, lime

Hook size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on 10 cm, change to a larger hook size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm, change to a smaller hook size.

-------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1.
CHAIN STITCH:
If you work outermost on the hook the chain stitch will often be too tight; 1 chain stitch should be as long as 1 double crochet is wide.
CROCHET INFORMATION:
At the beginning of each row work 1 chain stitch which replaces the first double crochet, i.e. skip the first double crochet and work until there is 1 chain stitch left, finish by working 1 double crochet in this chain stitch.

POT-HOLDER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The pot-holder is worked back and forth.
POT-HOLDER:
Work 36 chain stitches with hook size 3.5 mm and DROPS Paris - read CHAIN STITCH. Turn and work 1 double crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the hook, then 1 double crochet in each of the next 33 chain stitches = 35 double crochets. Read CROCHET INFORMATION and remember the CROCHET TENSION!
Now work the next row as follows:
A.1a over the first 32 stitches (= 8 repeats in width), then work the first 3 stitches in A.1a.
Continue by working A.1b over A.1a. Work this pattern until the piece measures approx. 19 cm - adjust so you finish after a complete repeat of A.1b.
The next row is worked as follows: Work 13 chain stitches (= loop – skip the 1st double crochet on the row), A.1c over the remaining 34 stitches. Cut and fasten the strand.
Work the other pot-holder in the same way.
