The piece is worked in the round with circular needle. The piece is folded and sewn together top and bottom to finish.

POT-HOLDER:
Cast on 72 stitches with circular needle size 4.5 mm and forest green. Purl 1 round then work 2 RIDGES – read description above. Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round.
