Finished Size: arppox. 9" L x 7 3/4" W (at widest point)
Gauge: Not important to over all size.

Skill Level: Medium

Note: When I designed the candy corn fridgie and potholder I didn't have any Candy Corn on hand. In trying to remember the color sequence I guessed light to dark. Since that time I discovered these simple treats I've eaten all my life are actually light on top, orange in the center and yellow on bottom!

Potholder: (Using Cream)

Rnd 1) Join cream to plastic ring with a sl st; (50 sc) around ring; join with a sl st in first sc: 50 sc.

Row 2) Ch 3 (counts as first dc); (4 dc) in joining: 5 dc.

Rnd 3) (Working in front lps only); ch 3, (2 dc) in joining, dc in next 3 dc, (3 dc) in last dc, working back the opposite side of work, in free lps, dc in next 3 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 12 dc.

Rnd 4) (Working in both lps); ch 3, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 5 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 4 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 16 dc.

Rnd 5) Ch 3, dc in next dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 7 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 5 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 20 dc.

Rnd 6) Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 9 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 6 dc; join with a sl st to first dc, dropping old color and picking up new color, yellow: 24 dc.

Rnd 7) Using yellow; ch 3, dc in next 3 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 11 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 7 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 28 dc.

Rnd 8) Ch 3, dc in next 4 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 13 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 8 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 32 dc.

Rnd 9) Ch 3, dc in next 5 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in next 15 dc, (3 dc) in next dc, dc in last 9 dc; join with a sl st to first dc: 36 dc.

Joining and Edging:

Flatten potholder so that each 3 dc increase is on each side. Join orange to first and last dc of increase on side (omitting center dc of increase); ch 1, sc through both sides as once; * sc in next dc and through corresponding dc on back of potholder; rept from * across ending with a sc through the first and last dc of increase on opposite side, again omitting the center dc of increase. Fasten off, secure ends.
