Petals Potholder - Free Crochet Pattern

Petals Potholder

This is a fun potholder and though the picture is in black and white, it works up nicely with different colors for the rounds of petals. I have a few of Mama's that she made in variegated that are lovely. And take a tip from her...if you make one (not two and sewing them together), this makes a great little dish cloth!
