Here's another colorway of the cross-stitched potholders linked above.

The starting point for this potholder is the easy afghan stitch potholder linked above. The only difference: a design was stitched onto this potholder before the edging was added. This particular design features a greeting appropriate for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

If you have Jewish friends, colleagues, or family members, a hand crocheted pair of potholders would be a delightful way to give them your good wishes for a sweet year.

Keep in mind that you can embellish your afghan stitch potholders with pretty much any cross stitch pattern you like, as long as it is in the right size range. So if you'd like to make a gift for a different occasion, it will be very easy to do.
