Finishing: Holding wrong sides together, tie the center yarn
tails together tightly. This will prevent the potholder from
separating and coming apart when washing. Matching the scallops
of both pieces, sc the pieces together around the outside
of the potholder, adding a (ch 12, sl st in the 12th ch from
hook) at the top of any scallop to form a hanging ring. Fasten
off. Weave in ends.
Happy Crocheting!
