This is a crochet project for those who REALLY get into the Valentine spirit. It has a prominent heart motif, and is almost too cute and sweet. This crochet potholder by Alex DellAringa is also easy to make and will make an attractive decoration in the kitchen!
Best Yarn Choices for a Durable Potholder
If you want your crocheted potholder to last forever, choose yarn that is heat-resistant, durable, and absorbs water well. The designer uses Lily (Spinrite) Sugar’n Cream Solids, a 100% cotton medium-weight yarn that makes a go-to choice for making home items like potholders, dishcloths, or coasters. Plus, it’s available in many vibrant colors, ready to brighten up your kitchen!
How to Crochet a Bobble Heart
To offer maximum sturdiness and best protection from the heat, the crochet potholder has a double-layered construction. This means that you need to work it in two panels – front and back.
The pieces are crocheted flat with single crochets and bobble stitches that produce a beautiful heart motif. Finally, you will add a single crochet border and a small hanging look for a polished look.
