Thermal Stitch Potholder

potholder

potholderLearn a new stitch while crocheting a useful project. The thermal stitch creates a nice, thick fabric that is perfect for potholders. When using cotton yarn, the potholder will not melt and will protect your hands when removing hot dishes from the oven.

 

These potholders make great gifts for many occasions! Choose the recipients’ favorite colors, or their kitchen colors, for a thoughtful gift! Use full skeins of yarn or scraps of yarn for an eclectic look!
