African Flower Potholders



I find myself when reading blogs about crochet wanting to try various patterns or stitches.  I have a number of squares, hexagons and flowers, all waiting for a use.  Last week I discovered the African flower hexagon and discovered the flicker site for African flowers, some gave me ideas and so I started on my first project.




I decided to try the pot holders and after a few trials and errors I managed them!  I found it quite difficult to transform the hexagon into a circle evenly.  I did a simple backing in one colour for the backing.




This one I did first and I think my transition was a bit off!



This one I am much happier with.  Anyway, they will be good enough to adorn my kitchen wall when they are finished!  Too pretty to use!

Have a great weekend!
