This packet of potholder designs contains 6 different potholder ideas and how to make them!

With these Tunisian crochet potholder designs, they can be made with any 100% cotton yarn in any color, for any season of the year.

Tunisian potholders are one of the more popular handmade potholder designs because they naturally produces a thick padding for an ideal protection against any heated pot or pan. It does not include any additional padding or sewing; if you gift this, a common question is what padding you used to make it thick. While there is no additional padding, the extra dense stitches made with the smaller hook makes it very thick.

If unsure on how to accomplish Tunisian tweed, a picture tutorial is available after the patterns.
