How It Is Made:
All the crocheted potholders in this set are made using size 10 crochet cotton thread and a steel # 7 crochet hook. They are all double thickness so they can be used with heat. This crochet pattern set includes instructions for the following designs:

Lantern - About 5½” wide, 6” point to point.
Pansy - About 7½” diameter.
Grape - About 5½” diameter.
Dahlia - About 7” diameter.
Ripple Dress - 9½” at widest point and 7” long.
Star Lily - About 6½” square.

Oh, Yeah…
If you want to use the finished vintage potholder in the kitchen, I suggest lining them with either a store bought potholder or layers of cotton quilt batting. Another idea is to place hot cookware on the backside of your potholder to protect the front from scorch marks. I have seen a few old potholders with a cotton backing added to them showing signs of scorching. The front of the potholder is like new but the back shows all the wear and tear from use.
