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.

THE PERFECT STASH BUSTING CROCHET PROJECT


Your Favorite Potholders is truly a great stash busting crochet project. It can be made with any left over cotton yarn you have in your stash.

With the stitch used for these potholders, they’re pretty thick, meaning they’ll keep your hands safe.

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.

Notes 


  • This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
  • All measurements given are unblocked.
  • 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.
  • Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
  • 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


19 x 19 cm / 7.5 x 7.5 inches.

Size Adjustments

  • Add extra stitches by 2 stitches at a time in the beginning to make them wider.
  • Reduce the number of stitches by 2 stitches at a time in the beginning to make them narrower.
  • Add/reduce the number of rows you crochet to make them appear as a square.

Abbreviations

We try our best to include all crochet abbreviations in the list above for the crochet pattern, but sometimes we may forget one or two.

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.
