Daisy Potholder

Here is a pattern for a circular potholder with a flower motif – an idea that I’ve had for quite a while. It starts with a provisional CO, is knitted in short row wedges and finished with grafting in garter stitch.

Since this is a three-colour intarsia project that also uses short rows, it can be quite fiddly. It is NOT a beginner pattern.
