Farmhouse Knit Potholder Pattern
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
The cutest farmhouse knit potholder pattern. The perfect potholder for your farmhouse decor! It’s the perfect first pattern for a beginner knitter because you knit just one stitch on repeat. And you can choose to knit a small, medium or large sized potholder.
Ahem, if you’re a beginner knitter… choose the small one, and knit several of them. Now, you have a bunch of gifts too! (You can use them for coasters too.)
Mindful practice leads to perfection.
