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.

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!

  1. Questions about THE ROUND CROCHET POT HOLDER PATTERN.
    1. when you say in round 3, “double crochet in same stitch. Do you mean where in the slip stitch or the next stitch. 2.And then you say 2 double crochets in every chain around, Do you mean space or stitch? there is not any chains except the 2 at the begining of the round after joining with a slip stitch.

    You seem to use the word “Chain” instead of space or stitch between dc. Or is it a cluster of 2 dcs.

    I love this pattern and I want to get it right. Sorry for being so lame. I thank you for the opportunity to have this free pattern

    1. Hi,

      This design was one of my first patterns as a new crocheter many years ago. I will look over it and fix the typos, which I am sure there are plenty to be found. LOL! Have a great weekend!

  2. In reference to:

    Round 3: Chain 2, Double Crochet in Same Stitch. 2 Double Crochets in every Chain Around. Slip Stitch to top of first Double Crochet, etc.

    DO YOU COUNT THE CHAIN 2 AS THE FIRST DC?

    Thank you.
