Stripes and Spikes Potholder

"The Spikes and Stripes Potholder is an adorable accessory for your kitchen that is also functional. The double thickness keeps the heat away from your hands while still looking decorative. This pattern uses single crochet, half double crochet and a double crochet spike stitch. There is a step-by-step photo tutorial included of the spike stitch. The holder is crocheted around a 1" plastic ring that is found at the base of the cap on a bottle of water. You have the option to skip the ring and simply chain a hanger if you wish."
