Here is a new member to the farm animal potholder.
Since I did Farm Animal Potholder Pattern Series last year, I had many requests for a puppy dog potholder. I also thought this farm animal potholder pattern series is not complete without a dog pattern.

This potholder perfect for a gift giving to the dog lover in your life. You can make this puppy dog potholder in different colors.

First, you need to make two flat circles. After adding facial features to the one flat circle you will see a cute dog face. The next step is joining these two circles together to get a double thickness. And it will cover the yarn ends on the wrong side of the dog face.
