The Yarn
To make the crochet potholder free pattern, I suggest using two colors of yarn, preferably cotton.
It will be quite durable & is easy to wash.
For this pattern the yarn used are Lily Sugar’n Cream cotton, however if you’ve got other cotton yarns in your stash, they’ll work just as well.
What I like most about Lily’s Sugar and Cream is the fact that it comes in so many amazing colors, I’m sure you’ll find something that works well with your home.
For a small crochet pattern like this, any scrap yarn or leftover yarn from other projects are perfect.

The crochet potholder is a great crochet pattern for your home. If you’re in need of adding some crochet to your kitchen, this pattern is just perfect.
This striped crochet pattern with a textured crochet stitch, is helpful when grabbing something hot out of the oven. Use cotton yarn & you’ll have it for a long time.
Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
This pattern is written for 1 size, however size adjustments are suggested under the heading “Size & Measurements”.
At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
Size & Measurements
Width: 17 cm / 6.7 inches
Height: 17 cm / 6.7 inches
Size Adjustments
Make the potholder wider/narrower: Chain more/less stitches at the beginning to make it wider/narrower, add/reduce by 1 stitch at a time.
Make the potholder longer/shorter: Work more/less rows to make the potholder longer/shorter, add/reduce by 1 row at a time. Make sure to add/reduce both before/after the stripes to achieve the same look.
In next stitch draw up a loop, yarn over, pull through 1, yarn over, pull through 1, yarn over, pull through last 2 loops.
*When crocheting the next extra extended single crochet stitch, pull the hook with the loop & stitch down when inserting the hook in the next stitch, this will make the previous stitch break in the middle & create texture.
Start rows by turning and crocheting the extra extended single crochet directly in the first stitch.
End rows with an extra extended single crochet in the last stitch and turn to work next row.
