Vintage Crochet Strawberry Potholder Pattern Anne Cabot 5333 Mail Order

Description

Crocheted Potholder :
Quoting the pattern description, because it is just so fun .... " The crocheted potholder is really a giant strawberry in
appearance - it's 7 ½ inches long and 7 inches wide. The stem is 2 ½ inches long and the leaves are crocheted separately and then attached to the bursting red berry. It's as practical as it is good looking as its thick and sturdy - you can slip in a layer of outing flannel or heavy unbleached muslin between the two sides - making it heavy enough to handle the hottest pots without burning your hand. This makes a grand present for the new bride - a "strawberries and cream" gift: And for your church bazaars and parties at which you raise money for various war relief agencies, the big strawberry will be an instant success."
