I used a size US size 6 steel (Eng 3 1/2 , Metric 1.9mm) crochet hook and size 10 cotton crochet thread.

Stitches Used: In US terms

Ch/ch——————-chain

Sl st/sl st—————slip stitch

Dc/dc——————-double crochet

Tr/tr———————treble crochet

Cluster/cluster———(ch 5, holding back on hook the last loop of each dc, make 2 dc in center ch of next loop, thread over and draw through all loops on hook)

Picot———————(ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hook)

Pattern in US terms.

FIRST MOTIF Starting at center, ch 5. Join with sl st to form ring.

1st rnd: Ch 13, in ring make (tr, ch 9) 6 times and tr, ch 5, tr in 4th ch of ch-13.

2nd rnd: Ch 3, dc in tr at end of join (this will count as a beginning cluster), *ch 5, dc in next tr, chain 5, cluster.* Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5. Join to first dc.

3rd rnd: Ch 3, dc in joining, * ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 5, make 2 clusters in tip of next cluster. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 5, cluster in same st as first dc was made. Join to first dc.

4th rnd: Ch 3, dc in joining, * ch 4, dc in next dc, ch 4, cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 5, cluster in tip of next cluster. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5. Join as before.

5th rnd: Ch 3, dc in joining, * ch 3, dc in next dc, ch 3, cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 9, cluster in tip of next cluster. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 9. Join.

6th rnd: Ch 3, dc in joining, * ch 1, dc in next dc, ch 1, cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 13, cluster over cluster. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 9. Join.

7th rnd: Ch 3, dc in joining, * picot, cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 17, cluster in tip of next cluster. Repeat from * around ending with ch 17. Join. Break off and fasten.

Wash both the crochet piece and the potholder in warm water, and dry at high heat. Then position crochet over potholder, and whipstitch around to attach them together.
