Potholders

Dear users, dear authors,
Potholders aren’t just a great beginner’s project—they’re also very decorative. In this thread, you can discover wonderful patterns for potholders.

@Authors
Please share your potholder patterns here. Don’t forget to include information about the materials, technique, difficulty level, and what makes your pattern special.
Have fun!

This snowman and snowwoman will make sure you don’t burn your fingers in the kitchen while also adding a touch of winter cheer.
They’re also very easy to crochet, even for beginners. You can find the pattern HERE
Or are you tired of winter and longing for some color? Then this pair of owls might be just the thing for you! 
The scale pattern on the feathers might be a little “tricky,” but the pattern explains everything in detail with pictures.

Here I have 2 beautiful potholders for you.

Both patterns are described in great detail,
so they are also well suited for beginners.
I have included pictures for almost every step.

How about a somewhat modern design with a 3D look,
which makes it look like a cube. Perfect for “young” kitchens
or for anyone who doesn’t like things too colorful.

Or would you prefer something a bit more colorful and cheerful?

It’s best to buy both as a set—that’s also possible in my shop.

Have fun, your Dorigurumi!

I’ve also posted a pattern for pot holders; they’re not quite as colorful as most, but they have the advantage of not needing to be crocheted around the edges.
At least for me, that’s a plus :).

Are you still looking for a nice gift, or would you simply like to make good use of your leftover yarn? How about these pretty
potholders? They are very quick to crochet and absolutely suitable for beginners.

Required materials:

• A total of approx. 40 g cotton for hook size 3.5–4.5 mm in any 3 colors (here: Puppets)
• Crochet hook size 3.5 mm

Two potholders - two crochet techniques:

1) Potholder - the crochet classic



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This potholder is considered a classic for crochet beginners.

For this, you need 50 g of cotton yarn per color for a size 4.5 crochet hook. The PDF pattern includes pictures.

These basic crochet skills are enough: (turning) chain stitch, single crochet, and slip stitch.

2) Potholder "So Fresh and Green" - Tunisian crochet



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

A touch of fresh spring green as kitchen decor or for real use as a potholder made from 100% cotton – a useful little gift for all kinds of occasions.

Both the PDF pattern for the potholder and the PDF pattern for the crocheted flower(s) are illustrated step by step.

Material for 1 standard-size potholder, 21 cm x 21 cm:
50 g light green + 50 g dark green crochet yarn made of 100% cotton/plant fiber for heat resistance, e.g. Schoeller+Stahl Record 210, 50 g - 90 m, according to the label 16 sts x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm), so 50 g per color for the Tunisian crochet hook up to a maximum size of 4.5.

For the flower(s), a leftover bit of cotton yarn is enough, e.g. Catania (Schachenmayr) or Limone (Schoeller+Stahl), for a 2.5 - 3.5 crochet hook.

Note: heat-resistant cotton yarn (= potholder yarn) is only lightly twisted and is therefore difficult to crochet with, especially for beginners, because the yarn splits very easily. So if heat resistance is not that important to you, for example if you won't be placing a hot pot on the potholder, you can also crochet with a cotton blend yarn, e.g. Pantino by Schoeller+Stahl.

In addition, we need a measuring tape, scissors, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends.

General crochet skills are enough; the Tunisian crochet technique is explained with pictures.

You can never have enough potholders
they also make the ideal gift for anyone who loves to cook
here is a particularly thick potholder, so your hands stay free of burn blisters
