Everyone loves a hot cup of tea and we think it tastes even better when it's straight from the pot. Save your sides and fingers from burns with our super sweet crochet potholder pattern. Our tutorial will teach you how to stitch your own crochet cotton potholder to match your vintage-style kitchen décor! This potholder can be used for any hot pans, plates, or cups and you could even adapt the pattern to make matching mini coasters. The unique texture is created by hooking in the back loops of your stitches only and we just love the effect it gives. It's also a great stash buster project because you can turn all your yarn scraps into a practical potholder.
Our crochet potholder pattern is completely beginner-friendly but if you need a little more assistance then head over to our crochet for beginners guide.
