Crochet potholders with

leather strap

You get access to a Danish and an English recipe. Here’s a great idea for a pair of

Crochet potholders. The idea

came about when I saw online that

This approach was used

to crochet blankets. I have used

the technique of a potholder.

The potholders are double. I crocheted 4 identical patches and then crocheted them together. The potholders consist primarily of “double crochets” and “relief double crochets from the front”. They are crocheted together with “single crochets”.

The advantage of the double potholders is that they are thick and you won’t burn your fingers. They are easy to wash (cotton). Can also be used as a trivet as they are thicker than regular potholders. There is a link in the pattern for how to crochet treble crochet stitches and you will be guided through the process/pattern.

You will need: 2-3 balls of cotton yarn 8/4 with a running length of about 170 meters and crochet hook no. 2.5 / 3 (depending on how firm you want the potholders to be).

Abbreviations:

ch = chain stitch, dc = double crochet, mr = magic ring, km = chain stitch, dc = front relief double crochet,
