I really loved the color and shine. When I used them as a trivet, they got too hot for too long, they have little melted spots... so do yourself a favor and use a 100% natural fiber, like cotton or wool... natural fiber potholders seem to stay nicer longer.

I can tell you though that if you belong to Ravelry you can look up the instructions for it under "Magic Crochet Potholder with the Single Crochet Crochet Geek". I hope this helps!claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442469011694228793.post-608337366291914222015-12-19T18:05:46.209-08:002015-12-19T18:05:46.209-08:00I have made a few of those, they are easy.
