Memorial Day

Memorial Day makes this a long weekend for some. It’s an American holiday that marks the start of summer and a time to remember those who’ve died while serving in the Armed Forces.

I was thrilled when I found this great crochet pattern for a patriotic pair of Emblem Pot Holders held on a Victory “V” rack.

Red, White and Blue

Red, White and Blue yarn are used to crochet The Eagle and The Shield Pot Holders. The background is a crochet Puff Stitch, then the designs are cross stitched onto the pot holder. Instructions for making a Puff Stitch are included in the instructions below.

These require Enterprise Yarn which is discontinued, so an alternative may be Lily’s Sugar n’ Cream or Aunt Lydia’s Fashion crochet cotton in #3.

Using the page of directions below for how a Puff Stitch is crocheted, you can make any size piece you’d like from holders to a large rug.  The gauge is 5 Puffs or 5 rows = 2 inches or 30 Puffs = 1 foot.

For The Eagle and The Shield, here is a close up of the color and diagrams.

Not too long ago I featured a crochet pattern for a Scottie Dog Pot Holder or Toy in Puff Stitch. Take a look at it for more tips and pointers on the versatile crocheted puff stitch.
