Lily of the Valley Potholder

January’s birth month flower is the Carnation and represents devotion, love, and loyalty. It’s also a symbol of perseverance because carnations can survive in heat as well as cold.

This double knit square makes a great gift for your friends born in January! If you’re unfamiliar with double knitting, this small potholder is a great way to learn this knitting technique. Both sides are the same, except with reversed colors. You’ll get the accomplishment of finishing a beautiful project and the confidence of adding a new skill to your knitting basket.
