What You’ll Need to Start
Before you head to your toolkit, learn about the most essential supplies required for this project. To complete it, you need a medium-weight cotton yarn, such as Garnstudio DROPS Paris.
If you want your crochet potholder to be as colorful as those in the photos, use yarn in several colors. Since it’s a small project, you will need really small bits of yarn, and that makes a great stash-busting project.
Prepare also a 4 mm crochet hook and yarn needle for weaving in the loose ends.
Understanding Front Post Stitches
This potholder pattern is an attractive project that makes use of a less frequently used stitch. In my opinion, this is unjustly so, because it’s an attractive alternative to more traditional stitching methods.
Of course, I’m talking about the front post stitches. These go into more advanced skills, so if you want to enhance your crochet level, it’s an ideal opportunity.
Unlike regular loops made at the top of the stitches, front post stitches are worked through the “post” of another stitch. Such a technique results in a raised, sturdy texture, perfect for items like potholders or washcloths.
What Size Will My Finished Potholder Be?
Your finished handmade potholder should measure about 7.5” (19 cm) in diameter when made with recommended materials. It is large enough to offer excellent protection to your surfaces from hot pots or pans. Want your hot pad to be bigger? Work a few extra rounds before finishing it with a scalloped border.
