The Yarn
To crochet these potholders I used an unbranded yarn that I’ve got in my stash from way back. However getting the exact brand isn’t necessary.
Use whatever you already have in your yarn stash.
If I were to suggest anything, I would say either 24/7 Cotton from Lion Brand Yarn.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.

Stitches You Will Need
BUBBLEPATTERN (BP):
The bubblepattern is crocheted in 1 stitch & 1 stitch will be skipped. Each bubblepattern contains 2 stitches.
1. The bubble.
2. The Chain.
Written description: *Draw up a loop from next stitch, yo, draw up a loop from same st, yo, pull yarn through 4 loops on hook, ch 1, sk 1 st*, repeat from *to*.
*Start each row with sk 1, because the “bubble” will always be placed in a “bubble” when crocheting in rows.
