I've been using all my scrap yarn making potholders.
It's an easy pattern, make a chain about 27 stitches long depending on the size of potholder you want.
I used Red Heart 4-ply with an "I" hook.
Ch 27, turn sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across, 3sc in end ch, sc in other side of beginning chains, 3 sc in end chain and sc around and around, and it will draw together into a square. Leave a long enough tail on the end to sew the opening shut.
I like cloth napkins because I have a really hard time throwing away something we use everyday. The ones we are using are white and getting SO disgusting, I found some material to make new ones. These are 12", cut on the square, so they can be fringed 1/8" or 1/4". The fringe tightens up in the washer and dryer and won't ravel anymore. These look like they won't snow stains very soon.
