Beginner Crochet Patterns – The Crochet Architect

Do you enjoy crocheting decorations for holidays? I certainly do! I’ve got a brand new crochet pattern for an Easter Egg Potholder for you. This potholder is worked with 2 pieces: a front and a back for double thickness. Using worsted (#4) weight cotton yarn, it’ll keep your hands and fingers protected when removing a hot dish from the oven.

Easter Egg crochet potholder — Easter Egg Potholder

The potholder is worked in rows of single crochet with increases and decreases, as necessary, to form the egg shape. After crocheting 2 egg-shaped pieces, one round of single crochet is added to join the pieces together and to form the hanging loop at the top.

This pattern is easy enough for a beginner crocheter, since basic stitches are used. I’ve done a YouTube video for this pattern, as well, so you can follow along with me in the video and learn to read a crochet pattern while making this cute, useful potholder!

Here’s the pattern page to snag a copy of this pattern at a great price! Then you can crochet some potholders for your Easter celebration (with about 27 days until Easter!) or give one/some to a friend or family member.

I hope you enjoy this pattern and all your crochet projects!

Until next time!

The Crochet Architect

If you’re a beginner crocheter (or just like to crochet quick, easy projects), I have a FREE beginner coaster pattern, along with 2 YouTube videos for you. This coaster is an easy, beginner pattern that anyone can successfully make. In the 2 videos, I teach you how to do the center of the coaster in rows of single crochet. I also teach you to add any of the 4 edging options to your coasters: 1 round of sc, 3 rounds of sc, corner beads and tassels or side fringe. Here’s a look at the coasters in the video:

As you can see, you can make your coasters in any colors you like. I’ve chosen different colors for the coasters in this FREE pattern to make each of these 4 different coaster finishes distinct! However, I made a set of coasters for our home in colors that coordinate with our living room.

These coasters make great gifts and are very economical to make. One skein of yarn, that costs around $2 – $3, is all you need to make a set of 4 coasters.

You can find the 2 new FREE YouTube videos on my YouTube crochet channel. And you can find the link for the FREE pdf pattern download on my Free Patterns page.

I hope you’ll give these easy, beginner coasters a try. Please let me know if you like this coaster pattern and if you have any questions about the pattern, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’d love to see photos of your finished projects!

Happy crocheting,

Susan
