Crochet potholders

15/12/2014 by Dada Filed Under: Other crochet projects 25 Comments

Crochet potholder
When I first fell in love with crochet, I thought I would make only amigurumies. They were completely adorable to me, and they became my first (crochet) love. But then, I discovered other interesting stuff… like pillows, scarfs, blankets… and I started making them as well. After a while, I stopped making amigurumies. To be honest, I hated that part of putting them together. At the other hand, I made some of the things I though I would never make. Like this doily. Or these potholders.
Beautiful crochet potholder
I found the pattern for these potholders in a Japanese crochet book. There is something really magical in the Japanese crochet books. I love absolutely everything about them. I love their concept of crochet, the way the things are presented, the colors, design… everything. So, when I saw the pictures of these beautiful potholders, I couldn’t resist them. I grabbed my crochet hook and threw myself into crochet for a few hours. I so enjoyed making them.
For this one (above) I used 100% cotton yarn 125m/50 g called “Tango” from St. George (Manufacturer from Serbia)

And for this one, I used 100% cotton yarn 184m/100g Classique Cotton DK from Stylecraft.
Now, I’m thinking about making several more potholders in different colors, because they are cute, useful and very easy to make, which makes them the perfect Christmas gifts.
Colorful crochet potholders
I’ve already started on my next project, which I’m very, very excited about. It’s colorful and cute and happy, and… You’ll see… Soon, I hope.

    Your potholders are beautiful – thank you for sharing! Our crochet histories are quite similar. I've hooked up many an ami pal, but find the assembly part so tedious. But when their little face is finished and they have their own personality, it is so cute 🙂 Then again, I think I get more satisfaction making something I can wear. Either way, it's fun that we can create so many different things with crochet. It is a lovely craft to enjoy!

    While they are certainly very pretty, I have to wonder how they actually perform as a "potholder"? Just seeing how holey they are makes my finger tips cringe with the thought of burns. Have you tried using them? Do they work? Just curious.

    Absolutely wonderful potholders and marvelous color palette!! And I also agree your opinion about Japanese crochet: I love the concept, delicacy, color palette and design. Everything! Merry Christmas!

    Gorgeous! A modern twist to what looks like some of the first potholders I was inspired to make that I remember seeing from my childhood.

    Your potholders are lovely – just like your other work! I can totally relate to what you say about that you initially thought you would never make a potholder or a doily… Same here. 😉 Somehow once you do start making them they're quite addictive… Have a nice day! Haafner

    Your work is absolutely gorgeous!! I love these pot holders. You made these from a pattern in a magazine? Would you be willing to share the name of the magazine you found them in? I would love to try to make these beautiful squares. Thank you! I also just "liked' your page on Facebook. What amazing patterns and work you've done! Thank you for all you share!

    bu güzel iken ben ne, desen elde etmek için bir yol herhangi desen sağlamak, ya da bir yorum nakleder herkese yanıt verdiğini hayal kırıklığına uğrattı

    док су лепа ја сам разочаран да ни пружају никакву образац, начин да се добије образац, или одговорити на било кога ко поруке коментар

    while these pot holders are beautiful I am disappointed that you neither provide any pattern, way to obtain pattern, or respond to anyone who posts a comment
