3 Easy Crochet Potholders

I am sharing these easy crochet potholders today. There are so many crochet patterns for potholders on the internet, so I decided to sort through quite a few and try out the easiest ones, as I am all about quick and easy!

These 3 patterns are the easiest crochet potholders you can make! Firstly they are easy for beginners and they hold up very well. Secondly, they are thick and can be used every day in your kitchen. All of them are made out of 100% cotton yarn. which of course is washable. And finally, they are quick to make.

It is not recommended to use acrylic yarn for potholders, so please use 100% cotton.

All these are beginner-friendly patterns and they make great gifts!

HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE EASY CROCHET POTHOLDERS?

I am sharing 3 patterns, they are all free, so a big thank you to the lovely ladies from the below-mentioned blogs for sharing these patterns.

PATTERN 1

This is worked in one continuous round and took the most amount of yarn, I used almost one whole skein of yarn. This is also the thickest of all the potholders I made. Very thick and can be used as a trivet as well! I love when things have more than one use!

The pattern is here at jewelsandjones.com. The pattern is very well explained and she has a video as well which is always helpful.

I shared this potholder before in this post: 5 Useful Crochet Projects

The pattern is the same but the blog mentioned in this post is different.

PATTERN 2

This potholder is the prettiest of them all in my opinion!

PATTERN 3

I started following this pattern from poshpatternsblog.com, it is the easiest pattern of all the 3 that I tried. You only need to single crochet for this one.

Sometimes I feel big potholders are a nuisance and wish I had a smaller one. So, I decided to make this a ‘MINI’ version. It is perfect for taking out small bowls from the microwave. The pattern is just rows of single crochets done for the length that you want, folded in half, and whip stitched around.

Also, I made the little loop on one end to hang it up before whip stitching. I thought it turned out quite cute! What do you think?!

The original pattern calls for using 2 strands of yarn held together. But I used just 1 and I used a 3.75mm(F) hook.
