With right sides facing out, pick up a loop through both loops with multi color yarn (or whatever color contrasting yarn you choose) and ch 8 sts. Sl st in the first st you made and continue to sc through both loops around the potholder. When you get to the beginning sl st in the fist st of the ch 8 you made and sc 8 sts in the ch 8 space. Sl st in the first st you started your chain and fasten off. Weave in end.

I ♥️ the way these look, could you tell me where you got your yarn from please. My local Micheals & JoAnn’s don’t care these colors of Sugar & Cream Yarn.😀
Hi! These were colors I had on hand but I usually get my cotton from Michaels…I’ll try to see if I can figure out the exact name of the dark green yarn I used. The light green is “Emerald” and the sparkle multi color yarn is “Mistletoe Sparkle”.
Can you please tell me if I should carry the light green/dark green behind all the stitches for the whole tree.?
Yes I carried the yarn with me for the tree.
