Easy Round Crochet Potholder Pattern

This easy crochet potholder pattern is perfect for those looking to add something homemade to a kitchen-themed gift basket, or simply a quick project to do while watching TV.

This simple crochet pattern works up quick, and is the perfect size for small-to-medium pots and pans.

These crochet potholders are easy to customize to any decor and will add some DIY style to your kitchen space. Potholders are an easy way to spruce up a kitchen.

But of course, this makes a great hot pad and not just a decoration. These hot pads help keep your counters safe when you need to place hot items on top.

Other Crochet Potholder Patterns

I also have a simple square crochet potholder that uses similar yarn, but creates a square version. Unfortunately, neither of these two patterns create a double thick crochet potholder, but I’ll try to show how that can be done in a later post.

However, both patterns do create a sort of thermal stitch, which leaves very little openings between the individual stitches. This extra yarn will help protect your counters even more.

The Perfect Yarn for Crochet Potholders

Cotton yarn is a must-use for any kitchen crochet project! It holds up well and can be washed over and over! I love using cotton yarn not only for crochet potholders, but also for dishcloths and more!

I used Lily Sugar ‘n Cream Cotton Yarn, but any cotton yarn would work great too! You won’t be disappointed in all the colors that are available to pick from. Have fun with it!
