Looking for a new project and some cute kitchen accessories? Then crochet these pot holders—they’re both practical and beautiful! The pot holders are very sturdy because you crochet them using Durable macramé. The combination of different stitches creates an elegant look.
Crocheted Potholders - Crocheting potholders isn’t just practical—it’s also a lot of fun! Use these sturdy potholders as Coasters or to protect your hands from the heat when, for example, taking something out of the oven or draining pasta. Durable macramé is a stiff cotton yarn, which makes the pot holder sturdy and helps it retain its shape well. This yarn gives your project a rugged look, and you can wash them at up to 60 degrees! Choose from 30 beautiful colors and crochet these kitchen essentials. Prefer to knit a pot holder? Then check out our Free Knitting Pattern for pot holders with hearts!
Materials used for 2 crocheted pot holders
- 4 mm Crochet Hook
- 2 balls of Durable Macramé in the color Curry (color number 2211)
(You'll need 1 ball of yarn per pot holder, and you'll have a little left over—but not enough for another one. So, 2 balls for 2 pot holders. But if you want to make 4 pot holders, for example, 3 balls will be enough.)
Abbreviations Used
l = chain stitch
hv = slip stitch
v = single crochet

Every crocheter’s work is different. Make sure to crochet the pot holders a bit tightly. This pot holder, crocheted with a 4 mm Crochet Hook, measures 20 cm wide and 20 cm tall. If, after a few rows, you notice that your pot holder is much wider or narrower, adjust your Crochet Hook size—for example, by going up or down half a size—to achieve the same result.
