Heart Potholder
Lion Brand® Lion® Cotton
GAUGE: 12 sts x 22 rows (11 ridges) = 4 in [10 cm] in garter stitch BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES: Potholder is worked with 3 strands of yarn held together throughout. To use one ball, re-roll yarn into three separate balls. (If you hare making more than one potholder, you may find it easier to use three balls of Lion Cotton and eliminate the need for re-rolling.) Two balls will make at least 3 potholders.

KNITTED POTHOLDER:
With three strands of yarn held together, cast on 1 stitch.
Row 1 K
Row 2 Knit in front and back of both stitches. You now have
2 stitches on your needle!
Note: Knitting twice into a stitch (once in front and once in
back) of a stitch is a way to do an increase.
- Knit into the front loop of the next stitch on your
left-hand needle as you would normally, pull the loop of the
new stitch through but don't remove the stitch from the left
needle.
- Then knit into the back loop of the same stitch so you have
two stitches.
- Finally, slide the original stitch off the left needle.

| The heart ended up being bigger on one side than the other. I followed the pattern as written, but the pattern itself starts the top with 12 stitches on one side and. 13 on the other.
