Potholder in Giant

Felted potholders are my new potential favorite fast gift. This is my first attempt in preparation for Christmas gifts. I knitted an attached I-cord around the edge and an unattached I-cord for the loop. The loop was a crocheted chain in the pattern, but I like living on the edge, so I improvised.


Purl Bee says this is supposed to end up being 9.5 in. wide. I feel like even if it were 9.5 in., it would still be big for a potholder. Maybe this one would be appropriate for giants, but I'm planning to use it as a Dutch oven trivet instead. I'll frog the matching potholder and make a pair of smaller ones.

How many times did you run it through the wash. It looks to me like It didn't felt very well and could use to go through the wash again.
