Fried Egg Potholder Hotpad Kitchen Decor Crochet Pattern

Crochet this potholder that looks like a fried egg for a little fun in the kitchen. A double thickness of cotton yarn protects fingers from burns. The yolk is made first in 2 pieces that are then lightly stuffed and crocheted together. Next, the egg white is added onto the yolk, working both a front and a back. The egg white is then crocheted around and the hanging loop added.
