The kitchen is the place where a woman spends her timemost of their time. Every woman tries to make her kitchen unique and mysteriously beautiful. Kitchen potholders are simply irreplaceable in the kitchen, since the housewife has to deal with hot objects all the time while cooking. Kitchen potholders are made from a variety of materials. Today, there are many different options for knitting potholders. I suggest knitting an interesting potholder for the kitchen called "Juicy Watermelon". The potholder turns out to be quite dense, bright and very convenient to use. Making such a potholder is a short knitting lesson for beginner needlewomen. The pattern is simple, and the result will undoubtedly please the young craftswoman.

Materials and tools

To make a potholder you will need the following materials:

White acrylic yarn

Red Acrylic Yarn

Green Acrylic Yarn

Black Acrylic Yarn

Hook # 3

Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions

The potholder will be made of twomain parts. Red acrylic yarn is used to knit the first part. The first row is knitted as follows: make a chain of 9 air loops and combine the 9th loop with the first, thus, a ring is obtained. In the 2nd row, you need to add loops, i.e. from each loop you need to knit three new loops. 3rd row - knit in a circle without increases. In the 4th row, you need to pull out 1 new loop from each 3 loops.In row 5, there is no need to make additions.In the 6th row we do the following: we add new loops in every second loop. In this case, one new loop is added. In the 7th row, we need to make increases in three places. In the 8th row, we add one new loop in every second loop. In the 9th row, no loop additions are required.To knit the 10th row we will need red andblack acrylic yarn. Let's start knitting. Every tenth loop should be knitted with black yarn, thus imitating watermelon seeds. Knit this row completely without adding new loops.In rows 11 and 12, you need to add one new loop in every second loop of the row.In the 13th row, you should make additions in each loop of the row, knitting one new loop. The 14th row - you need to add a new loop in every second loop.Row 15 – make additions in eachloop of the row until its completion. At this point, knitting with red yarn ends. Knitting of the 16th row is done with white yarn. In the 16th row, it is necessary to make additions where it will be difficult to knit loops.We will knit the 17th row with green yarn, without adding new loops.When the knitting is finished, tighten the loops and cut off the excess thread with scissors. One part of the potholder is ready! Let's start knitting the second side of the potholder in the same way.Rows 1-9 for the second potholder are knitted in the same waydiagram, as well as the first part of the potholder. The exception is the 10th row. Since for the second part of the potholder it is knitted exclusively with red acrylic, without using black yarn, as for the first part. The 10th row is knitted without additions. Rows 11-17 of the second part are similar to the first part. When knitting is finished, tighten the loops and cut off the excess thread with scissors. When the two parts of the potholder are ready, we begin to connect them.For this we use green yarn. We knit one connecting loop, make a chain of five air loops and combine them with the first air loop in the chain.We knit one connecting loop and againmake a chain of five air loops. Knit in the same way until the end of the row. At the very end of the row, you need to make a loop so that the potholder can be placed on the kitchen wall. We collect a chain of 18 air loops and connect it to the very first connecting loop of this row.The potholder is knitted, so we cut off the excess threadsand remove them with a hook. Iron the potholder on both sides so that it becomes even and dense. The potholder "Juicy Watermelon" is ready! Such a potholder will decorate the kitchen and add a bit of uniqueness, since such a kitchen item cannot be purchased in any store. An exception may be online stores and handicraft fairs, where craftswomen exhibit their works. Such a potholder can be knitted both for your kitchen and as a gift for a friend or loved one.
