Crocheting fruit: Kiwi
Pot holders can be crocheted not only in square or round shapes, but also in creative, colourful fruit shapes. Whether shaped like a strawberry, kiwi, lemon or orange, you can customise their colours to suit your taste. This makes cooking twice as much fun! A tutorial by Ms Line.

Finsihing
Join the round with an invisible method and weave in the yarn end. With col White, embroider short straight stitches around the sts of Rnd4, elongating them towards the outer edge of the potholder and placing them so that 2 sts are in between every embroidered stitch. For the seeds, embroider short stitches in Black distributed evenly around the kiwi.
