Claims8
A pot holder made by the process of:
- providing a rectangularly shaped cloth material;
- folding said cloth material in half to form two generally rectangular shaped layers which are coupled together along a folded side;
- sewing each of said layers together around the outer edge of said pair of layers, while leaving a relatively small gap that remains un-stitched along the side opposite of said folded side;
- inverting said pair of layers by forcing said folded side and the two side adjacent to said folded side through said gap;
- and
- sewing a plurality of lines of stitching across said pot holder, wherein said plurality of lines of stitching intersect at an approximate center point of said pot holder.

A method for making a pot holder, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a generally rectangular material;
- folding said generally rectangular material in half to form two substantially equal halves each having first and second adjacent corners, a third corner which is opposite of said first corner, and a fourth corner which is opposite of said second corner;
- coupling each half of said folded material together by passing an amount of stitching through both halves of material around the outer edged of said folded material a certain distance away from the outer edge of said folded material;
- inverting said coupled halves of material whereby said amount of stitching is disposed along the outer periphery of said pot holder;
- and
- forming a plurality of intersecting creases through said pot holder.
