Hello, dear members of all communities, particularly all needlework artists. Welcome back to my blog. This is my first post on Hive. In this opportunity I knitted a pot holder for a pastry cook, although it has some details that I hope to improve for the next one I make, I wanted to share with you the process of its elaboration.

Materials

Needle (1.45mm or 3)

wool yarn

Scissors

wool needle

Development

Take a thread of various colors and make 50 chains, if you want a larger pot holder you make more chains.

One chain, we turn and perform 50 half points high.
One chain, turn and make 17 high half stitches, change color to blue and make 16 high half stitches and change again to various colors knitting 17 high half stitches.
one chain, turn and make 17 high half stitch and change the thread to blue to continue knitting the basket, we must make high half stitch in relief in front and behind, it is a little difficult with this stitch because we have little space, so be patient the first stitches are the most difficult making 16 stitches, we change the thread again and make 17 high half stitch.

A chain, we turn and make 16 half high stitches we change color to blue and again we make relief in front and behind we make 18 stitches of relief, we change again thread knitting 16 stitches.
A chain, turn and make 15 stitches changing color to make the relief with 20 stitches, change the thread again to make 15 more stitches. We repeat the procedure, up to the desired height of the basket, 14 rows for me, as you can see in the image:

Later we will replace where we knit in blue we will knit in green, with half a low stitch. We weave with the thread of various colors and above the blue color we weave in green color, for the next turn we take only one row, for the decorative arches, creating a turn of loose threads to make the boleritos.

For the mufink we follow the following diagram:

Finally we hook the decorative green arches, in the row that was left in step 7. We weave around the edges in blue with low points and in each corner we make three low points in the same hole. Making some fuchsia chocolates leaving thread to sew.
