Are you excited to make one of the easiest crochet potholders ever?

This easy crochet pattern is super simple and uses only TWO stitches!

Makes a Great Gft!

Just like my other hot pads/potholder designs, this simple potholder pattern is great to work up as a gift!

It would be perfect for Mother’s Day, birthdays, or as a housewarming gift. And while you’re at it don’t forget about making one for yourself too!

These Pot Holders Have Many Uses!

This pattern, along with being a great pot holder is also great for placing hot pans on after they come out of the oven.

Read this part: I would recommend using these with low temp items (below 220 degrees) if you decided to use the same yarn as me.

If you’d like a hot pad that will hold warmer items, then I would recommend a 100% cotton fiber such as Cotton Jeans from Lion Brand. You can also use them as a washcloth, dishcloth, and a cleaning rag too!

The Yarn That’s Perfect for a Crochet Potholder

I went with Flikka Yarn from Lion Brand in the color-way Keepsake for this design which is a lightweight 3 yarn. I chose it because I love the mixture of colors each skein has! If you’d prefer to make this is a different color, then you are in luck because there are so many pretty ones to chose from in this line.

It is a combination of cotton & polyester plus it is machine washable and dryable, which is perfect for any material used in the kitchen!

Want a Double Thick Crochet Potholder Pattern Instead?

If you’d like to make this potholder a little thicker, I recommended just crocheting the pattern as written but holding two skeins of yarn together at the same time.

I think doing this will make it the perfect thickness for those extra heavy and hot pans you need to move.

How to Crochet a Potholder

First I chained 23 and then did a repeat of 2 half double crochets and single crochets the whole way across the first row. I then turned my work and chained 1 to begin the next row.

The next row is “almost” the same as the first expect you will be starting with two single crochets and then working up two half double crochets instead. You will repeat the simple pattern of row 1 and row 2 throughout the entire design until you come to row 19.

At the end of row 19 instead of fastening off your work, you will now chain 10 and attached to the same stitch with a slip stitch to make a chained loop so you will be able to hang up your potholder.
