Potholders

It's been a while since I uploaded anything. Was in a potholder craze some time back, so I thought I would share these pretty potholders that I made from patterns that I found online.


The two potholders pictured on the far right are made from a pattern by Crochet with Raymond, and the purple potholder is made from a pattern found on Red Heart. They are really quick to make up, and can easily be done within an hour or two.


The blue and white snowflake potholder pictured is made from a pattern found on Ravelry.

One thing to note about crocheting potholders is the type of yarn to use. I only use 100% cotton or 100% wool yarn for potholders, so that they are functional. The Spruce has a good article explaining the different yarn options.

Are these not the cutest? I have yet to try my hand at these. To make them functional and not merely ornamental you'd probably have to add cotton batting at the back, or at the very least crochet another layer behind to withstand the heat. On the other hand they might be too cute to be used...
