Grammy's NEW Favorite Potholder

I have to thank my wonderful mother-in-law for providing the inspiration for this project! Years ago she sent me one of her favorite, handmade, cotton potholders. Hers was crocheted, likely by some lovely friend or family member. The pretty stripes and simple, double-layer design inspired me to create my own knit version.

Don't blink, because the stitch pattern for this one is an easy linen stitch worked in the round.
