This no sew pattern is easy enough for beginners with a little experience. Although it is simple in nature it is beautiful in design and one of my most sentimental patterns. My grandmother handed me a potholder recently that she crocheted years ago. She didn't write down the pattern just "whipped it up". She no longer crochets and asked that I make her a new set. I genuinely enjoyed getting to make this item and will continue to gift it to others!
