This is a pretty simple potholder to make. It is best to use cotton yarn like Peaches 'N Cream. Use whatever size hook you want. I usually use a H hook.
First: Make a chain. The chain will be the diagonal across the potholder, so make it as long as you want. I made mine about 8".
When you get to the end, you will start working in round. Crochet single crochet in the back loop of the stitches.
Make a chain for the loop and pull yarn through so you have a tail. Stitch the potholder together down the middle.
I was taught this using an f hook, and 35 stitches. It did take a very long time. I tried different hook sizes, and different amounts of stitches. I ended up just going up to a G hook,and 30 stitches. AnY thing else seemed to make rectangles, which isn't all bad, if you need a hot pad for cassaroles!
ReplyDeleteThey are slow to work but so lovely and efficient. I also make them in double thich stitch.
ReplyDeleteI have made several of these potholders, but always at the Last Stitch of the first row ONLY, I was taught to put 2 single crochets. For a beautiful potholder, use self striping yarn. As a gift idea....use the self striping yarn for a potholder, then make a dishcloth or two in a color that matches one or more of the colors in the Potholder.
ReplyDeleteI would love to know the yarn you used, specifically the color as I have not seen that variation. It makes one of the prettiest potholders!

ReplyDeleteMost találtam ezt az edényfogó mintát. Nagyon tetszik, jó a leírás és a fázisképek is. Meg fogom horgolni. Köszönöm! Üdv.: Margó
ReplyDeleteI made this using a G hook and 42 stitches.It worked out fairly easy. I have now made several.
