POTHOLDER:
Cast on 96 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm and lime. Work 2 RIDGES – see description above. Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round and 1 marker thread after 48 stitches (= marks the sides). Continue by working A.1 over all the stitches (= 12 repeats in width). When A.1 has been completed 1 time in height, work 2 ridges with light blue purple. Knit 1 round, at the end of the round cast on 20 new stitches on the needle. Turn the piece, cast off the 20 stitches which were cast on and then cast off the remaining 96 stitches from the wrong side. Fold the potholder double so that the marker threads are in the sides. Sew the potholder together at the top and bottom with small stitches.
