The Bald Eagle is an iconic symbol of patriotism in the United States and it is the first of my new Patriotic Potholder Series.

This double knit square makes a great gift! If you’re unfamiliar with double knitting, this small potholder is a great way to learn this knitting technique. Both sides are the same, except with reversed colors. You’ll get the accomplishment of finishing a beautiful project and the confidence of adding a new skill to your knitting basket.
