Over the years I have crocheted a lot of thick good cotton potholders.
I love them and use them in my kitchen all the time, and they make good gifts too.

I have decided to share my pattern with you, on request - it is fun and easy to crochet with a thick needle and double yarn.

The potholders are made with double cotton yarn and are double layers.
I prefer to decorate my potholders with buttons, which in my eyes lifts them from ordinary to Great, but that is optional :-)

Since I crochet with double yarn, I prefer this thickness of yarn:

My crochet hook of choice is no. 5

Here goes:

You need 2 balls of yarn for 1 pair of potholders.

Chain 28 stitches
Begin in the 4th stitch from your hook and double crochet 25 stitches, which gives you 26 stitches -  count the 3 chains in the beginning of the row as 1 stitch.
Every row starts with 3 chains - and then 25 double crochet = 26 stitches
Repeat until you have 12 rows.

Make 4 squares.


Layer 2  and 2 squares together and join them around the edge with single crochet stitch.

Row 1: I do 1 stitch in every stitch through both layers on the sides, and 2 stitches around every double crochet stitch on the top and the bottom edge.
In every corner I do 3 single crochet stitches in 1 stitch, to make the corner square.

Row 2: 1 single crochet 1 stitch in every stitch - 3 single crochet stitches in 1 stitch in the corners.
In the middle of the top I make a jump with 5 chain stitches - see photo - to make a hole for hanging the potholder.

Row 3: 1 single crochet stitch in every stitch - 3 single crochet stitches in 1 stitch the corners and 6 single stitches over the hanging loop from row 2.

Du trenger 2 nøster garn til 1 par grytelapper.

Legg opp 28 luftmasker med dobbelt garn og heklekrok nr. 5

Begynn i 4. maske fra nålen og hekle 25 staver. Det gir deg 26 masker på raden når du teller med de første 3 luftmaskene.

Hekle 12 rader, ta av tråden og hekle 3 ruter til, så du har i alt 4 ruter

Legg 2 og 2 ruter sammen og hekle kant med fastmasker:

Rad 1: Hekle 1 fastmaske i hver maske, gjennom begge lagene,  i hver side på grytelappen og 2 fastmasker over hver stav langs kanten oppe og nede.
I hvert hjørne hekler du 3 fastmasker i 1 fastmaske for å få et fint hjørne.

Rad 2: Hekle 1 fastmaske i hver fastmaske + 3 fastmasker i 1 fastmaske i hjørnene. Midt på oppe hopper jeg over noen masker og lager 5 luftmasker til hempe.

Rad 3: Hekle 1 fastmaske i hver fastmaske fra forrige rad + 3 fastmaske i 1 fastmaske i hjørnene. Hekle 6 fastmasker  over hempen fra rad 2.

  1. Alas, I don't crochet. Sometime I might try to make knitted hot pots based on your idea. Probably won't be as cute, but they'll work. Thanks for sharing.
