Potholders aren’t just useful in the kitchen; they can also be attractive decorations if they’re a little more unusual.

The
Coffee Cup Potholder is crocheted from red and white cotton yarn. It is worked in two layers, so you can slip it on like a glove. The cup’s handle also serves as the hanger.

The
Strawberry Potholder is, of course, a perfect fit for the kitchen, especially now during strawberry season. With its funny face, it’s sure to make everyone smile. I crocheted it in a single layer, but it’s no problem to make it double-layered like the coffee cup above.

The
Bat Potholder is an eye-catcher in the kitchen, and not just for Halloween. This potholder can also be crocheted in a single or double layer.
