Skully Potholder

This is a potholder I knitted as a house warming present for a friend of mine; I adapted a free knitting pattern for a dishcloth I found on Ravelry that created the skull shape by simply switching between knit and purl at the right time. Instead of changing stitch I changed colour; then reversed the row and colours on the flip side.

To finish I crocheted a hoop so it could be hung. I find double knitting projects really satisfying not only whilst working on but also the chunkier feel to the fabric when they are complete.
Many thanks to Dee Brown for listing this pattern for free on Ravelry!
