The chunkier the potholder the more practical it is to use around your kitchen. Whether protecting delicate hands when carrying warm pans or protecting your work surfaces from direct heat, this potholder with its densely packed, nubby popcorn stitches is most definitely up to the task, and it looks very pretty too!

The pattern is written using standard UK terms and includes clear charts for each section of the potholder - the back and front panels and the edging.
