I had seen dishcloths and potholders like these before, there are quite a few variations of this general pattern. Some are sc, some dc, the vintage potholders are often double thick (I will be making some of those soon!). I think the general pattern has been around for some time, it is simple, easy to remember and practical. The ones by Apple Blossom Dreams (it was a free pattern when I made these, now it is only available for purchase) really caught my eye, they were so pretty and colorful that I just had to make some of my own.

A Chicken for Every Pot
A Little Flower
A seven petal flower. Why 7? I don’t know, it made me happy.
What you need
Size 7 (4.5mm) hook
Bits and scraps of yarn, I used acrylic worsted weight
How to go about it
Round 1
- Make a slide ring, pull through a loop, ch1, {sc, ch1} 7 times in loop. or ch4, in 3rd ch from hook {sc, ch1} 7 times.
- Slpst in top of sc, end off.
Round 2
- Add second color with a slpst in one of the chain 1 spaces. In the same space, ch 2, 2hdc, ch 2, slpst.
- In the next ch 1 space, {slpst, ch 2, 2hdc, ch 2, slpst}, repeat around in each ch1 space.
- Slpst into ch 1 space of your first petal, end off. Weave in the ends
