potholder patten
There is a wonderful one for a double-thick potholder a very old lady
taught me years ago and which I have never seen published. It's very simple: Decide how large you want the finished potholder to be, and make a chain of single crochet the length of the diagonal you want (corner to corner) plus a couple of extra stitches. Now, all you do is make a single crochet into every stitch, going round and round. Do NOT make any increases or shaping! You will note that you are making a sort of bag. Now, the first row you made is the DIAGONAL, so keep on going until you have enough rows to sew the potholder shut on the other diagonal. When you have enough rows for that, cut off the yarn leaving about 24" for the sewing up. And that's it! It sounds rather confusing, so I suggest you try a very small sample piece, perhaps a couple of inches for your first row. You will note that the rows of stitches are on the diagonal. These potholders are easy (although somewhat boring) to make, very useful for trivets, make great gifts, and look very good in variegated yarn. They also go through the washer and dryer. It's something you can take with you to work on in waiting rooms -- just a ball of yarn and a hook, plus a tapestry needle for the sewing up. |

Cast on 3, knit one row plain. Start increasing at each edge on every
row until the thing is as wide on the diagonal as you want it to be, then decrease every other row. Break yarn and run through last 3 stitches. Knit with fat wool on big needles. Toss the finished knitting into the wash to full it up - no accidental burned fingers.

I have lots of nice crochet potholder patterns, but they're mostly in books. One easy one is similar to knit one Wooly posted. I usually crochet this with a fairly heavy cotton, and hold two strands together. It has a nice heathered look if the strands are slightly different colors. Make a chain of about 10 and join it in a circle. Make single crochets into the circle until it's nice and full. (This will be the loop that you hang it with.) First row: ch1, turn, single crochet in back loop only of sme stitch, 3 sc in back loop of next stitch, sc in back loop. Second row: ch 1, turn, sc in back loop of first 2 sc, 3 sc in back loop of next sc (the middle sc of the increase in the row below), sc in back loop of next 2 sc. Continue like this, always making 3 sc in the middle sc of each row, and always crocheting into the back loops of the row below, until the potholder is as big as you want. It will be square, with a row of tiny holes along the diagonal. Before using any yarn to make a potholder, make sure it won't burst into flames or melt. Wool is good, some cottons are good, most acrylics melt. -- Barbara Vaughan My email address is my first initial followed by my last name at libero dot it. |
