Pot Holders - Crochet

Good morning,

I made these two sets of pot holders and gave them as gifts.  I keep some around at home to use as hostess gifts, too.

This is the first project I always use when teaching someone, especially children to crochet.  I like the fact that it is a quick and easy pattern to make and it results in something we can all use. 

You've probably made these many times yourself, but if you'd like the pattern one more time, mine is below.  ;)

Best,
Lois
