An easy peasy potholder

The moment I saw it, I just wanted to do it.  Its really an easy peasy potholder.  The Ta...dah.... happened in a jiffy :)  Thanks to Sangeetha of Crochetkari .  Here's her tutorial . It has been detailed well.  I couldn't even wait to make the twin potholder before sharing it here.

To begin with, I did not have the right kind of cotton thread.  Unfortunately, crochet isn't a popular craft here and so getting yarns is a task in itself.  But where there is a will, there is way.  I had this binding thread, made of jute.  Its lasting, durable and can withstand a hot pot's heat! Only thing is that it is very rough and so a lil' difficult to crochet.  But serves the purpose of  a potholder.

So here's my potholder....

The only change I made in this patten, is a row of SC on the top edges, to give strength to the potholder and a neat look.

This was my fastest Ta...dah..  Thanks to Sangeetha.
