Smiley Face PotholderThis is a Smiley face potholder I had to sort of work out the pattern to. I found some like this at the house when we were cleaning it out that belonged to Scott's Grandma. There were Smiley Faces, Watermelons and Round decorative hotpads. So this may not be a new idea or pattern but I came up with it based on what I found there. My version may not be the same as the actual potholder, however and is copyrighted to me, Marla Caneer and may be printed for personal or charity use only and is not nor the item made from it to be sold.
