Rainbow Dot Pot Holder
He has a ‘connection’ thing with rainbows.
Last year I made him Unicorn Rainbow poop cookies which were hilarious. This year I baked him some rainbow cupcakes (white cake mix, divide into 6 and add 6 colors, bake, white cream cheese/white chocolate frosting, topped with colorful sprinkles and sparkles).
Anyways this potholder is real simple, but it did take 9 colors of yarn which I already had hoarded, when it was on sale.
It could also be done in 2 colors for less work or 3 colors for less yarn purchases. Some sort of look ‘Pop Art’ like. Here’s some other combos I played with along with 3 alternative rainbow combos far left.
The front and back don’t differ that much, but here’s photos of both sides along with the yarns used:
To get the rainbow effect, a new color was added and one removed every 6th row. That part is not hard, but is does leave a lot of tie-in work to do once the knitting is all done. It’s so fun. It was worth the effort. Lily does make a Kelly green colored yarn that might have made this a tiny bit better, but I didn’t have it in my yarn stash – yet. 😀
