Potholders “It’s So Green” - Tunisian crochet




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

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

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

Materials:      also suitable for using up leftover yarn.

For 1 standard-size potholder measuring 21 cm x 21 cm, I used:
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 ball band 16 sts x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm), so 50 g per color for the Tunisian crochet hook up to max. size 4.5.

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

Please note: heat-resistant cotton yarn (= potholder yarn) is only lightly twisted and therefore difficult to crochet with, especially for beginners, because the yarn splits a lot. So if heat resistance is not that important to you, for example if you do not place 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 sewing in ends.


Basic crochet skills are sufficient; the Tunisian crochet technique is explained with pictures.


You can use up leftover yarn in various shades of green to make this mermaid tail for 29 cm dress-up dolls (Barbie) and make a little doll owner happy. The pattern is also suitable for beginners, since the stitch pattern and decreases are very regular. Maybe the doll owner will even try making it herself?
