Pot holder – of – the – month

Start a new fad among your friends for seasonal pot holders—you'll find this light-hearted idea will catch on quickly. For fun gifts and cheerful kitchens, make these brand new pot holders in J. & P. Coats and Clark's O.N.T. Threads.

PADDING ... If a pot holder consists of 2 pieces, cut lining material slightly smaller than cro­cheted pieces. Tack to wrong side of one piece, then complete accord­ing to directions. If pot holder consists of one piece, cut a lining, allowing ½ inch all around for seams, turn back seam allowance and sew neatly in place on wrong side.
