Hot chicks

Top tip

Keep stitches nice and tight to make a firm, stable surface, perfect for hot pots

These eggs-tra special ladies are your new kitchen helpers. Put them to work as potholders, trivets or even place mats – they’re just so versatile and a whole lot of fun! Each pot holder is made in two parts, which are crocheted together. The beak, crest and tail are then crocheted to the edging.
