Are you searching for a gift that is distinctive, yet quick and easy to make? You need look no further than this delightful crochet anthology. Reprinted directly from rare thread-company publications dating back some thirty years, here are 64 patterns with complete instructions for some of the most charming pot holders you'll ever crochet. The colorful designs feature kitchen themes (fish, fruits and vegetables, teapot, etc.), animals (pig, horse, chicken, etc.), flowers (pansy, daisy, rose, etc.) and other novelties.

Even beginners will be able to crochet these useful and imaginative pot holders with surprising speed; some designs are so simple that they can be used to teach crocheting to children. Includes complete directions and a black-and-white photograph of each pot holder, plus a guide to crochet stitches and abbreviations.
