I love the look of simple, round potholders, but I don’t love how far apart the double crochets end up in the outer rounds compared to the inner ones. I just need a little more material between my fingers and a hot pan, you know? Thus, I created this, a slightly denser potholder, which utilizes a simple trick to add a few more “stitches” without actually changing any of the usual stitch counts.

Yarn: worsted weight cotton (100% cotton is best, but anything at least 80% cotton will do. Try to steer clear of anything containing acrylic.)

Hook: 3.75 / F

Skill level: easy

Finished size: ~6” in diameter

It’s not a picture tutorial, but there are pictures explaining things!
