Granny's Bloomer Pot Holder

Just finished a small birthday gift for my husband's boss' mom.  I really think it turned out okay.
The pattern comes from the book Old-Time Crochet Made Easy by House of White Birches.

Here is what the pattern in the book looks like.

I did not do the trim the way they showed as I did not like how it turned it out.  So I just did the basic shell trim.  I also reversed the colors since the receiver loves red in her kitchen.  Here is my finished project.  I tell ya, I wish I could design.  I would like a pair to wear.  :)
