How to do it
1 Cast 35 stitches onto No. 6 knitting needle with two strands of yarn. Knit a square with seed stitch; i.e. knit one, purl one staggered over two rows, alternating every row by knitting the purl stitches and purling the knit stitches.
2 Cut two 15 cm faux leather paper straps. Make four holes in a square at both ends of each strap as illustrated in the photo.
3 Double over the strap around one of the corners of the potholder, so that it makes a strap. Sew the strap onto the potholder in a cross.
