The graceful fox, jumping high up in the air to pounce on its prey. I recently watched a video showing one of these amazing creatures listening intently to mice running around under the snow. The fox stood motionless, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce. It totally made me laugh as I watched it jump up and then land face first in the huge snow drift! But it miraculously caught its dinner, sight unseen!
Now you can bring the bright little Woodland Fox into your home by making this double knit potholder featuring the moment of suspense just before it catches its prize. 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.
With this instantly downloadable PDF pattern, you’ll have all the help you need to get started!
This pattern includes written instructions, a chart, and links to video tutorials for the invisible cast on, invisible bind off, slip stitch edging, and I-cord loop. You’ll end up with a professional looking finished project that you’ll be proud to give as a gift or keep and put on display.
