Although this was meant to be a potholder, this platypus can also be a funny coaster for your table. Made to protect your hands when handling hot dishes, it can also decorate and protect a wooden table against hot drinks or spilt water. The pattern is about 11.4″ long and 7″ wide, so you have to modify it slightly to make it smaller or use thin yarn.
