These vintage potholders are perfect as a gift or for your own kitchen. The dishcloths are worked using only knit stitches, purl stitches, and slipped stitches, making them quick and easy to knit. The hanger is made using chain stitches and a slip stitch.
With some basic knitting knowledge, it is also suitable for beginners.
The pattern can be followed either using the chart or the written row-by-row instructions. These simply indicate whether stitches are worked as knit or purl or slipped.
