With all this rain of late I took advantage of the inside time to make new potholders for my kitchen. It was past time to pitch the old ones. I made regular size ones for pot holders and a couple of the larger ones that I use to put hot pots on.
I have used the same pattern for years which is basically just single crochet for the pot holder itself a shell border of double crochet. Made of heavy cotton yarn they last for many years and are machine washable.
Yo can find the original pattern at http://www.myrecycledbags.com/2008/11/22/my-basic-potholder-pattern/

A beautifully simple pattern. I have crocheted enough scarves for a third world country. I think I will try these next.
ReplyDeleteKnow the feeling! I just finished my first knitted scarf in my attempt to teach myself to knit. So going back to crochet was a nice break.
DeleteI have been working on some my own tonight. I also make dish cloths. I am need of extras of all for my RV. We park it in a camp ground for the summer, and pretty much live there on the weekends. Hate to have to keep bringing things back and forth, so I want to have a few of each to keep at camp.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you back! We are now neighbors!
ReplyDeleteWell Hello neighbor!
DeleteVery pretty potholders. Thank you for the link. I'm going to make some of these and they will be nice 'busy work' whilst at the cabin. :)
ReplyDeleteIts the hand made things that make a house a home. Thanks for the link! Have you been on ravelry, lots of free knitting and crocheting patterns.
ReplyDeleteI have and have Pinned more patterns than I will ever complete. I occasionally crochet baby blankets for charity but will have to find a new Project Linus or Newborns in Need in this area.
DeleteI love crochet pot holders and dish cloths! The dish cloths don't sour as quickly as regular store bought ones. And I love the added "scrub-ability". Is that even a word?? :-)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteCQ,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pot holders, do you also make dish clothes? Thank you for sharing this pattern, I may have to try it out.
Through the help of You Tube, I've learned how to knit. Now I'm going to have to give it another shot for crocheting.
