This is a 1955 craft pamphlet from Coats and Clark. Here's the introduction:
Practically everyone we've ever known enjoys a good joke, a funny story or a clever cartoon, so it occurred to us to put a smile in the kitchen. Even though pot holders are a necessity, they don't have to look dreary - and these are every bit as practical as any you've ever used! Here they are, then - light-hearted, happy-go-lucky, cook's best friends - pot holders to add a merry, decorative note to your kitchen...and to start a fad with all your friends!
Here's the basic information for the circles. The decorative parts are copyrighted but I found this on ebay if you want your own...
