A bright matryoshka nesting doll potholder: a rosy face with big eyes and blond hair, a red or pink headscarf with a knot under the chin and a turquoise dress decorated with little yellow flowers, plus a hanging loop. The pattern also shows how to make her with plaits or with a white lace apron, so you can crochet a whole family. Use it as a potholder, coaster, table mat, wall decoration or appliqué – or make two, sew them together and stuff them for a small pillow.
