Crochet pot holders are essential in a kitchen, so why not make some yourself? That way you know you’re getting something you like.
Generally speaking, potholders are generally made in basic shapes like circles, squares and rectangles. If you enjoy crocheting simple shapes like rectangles, you may want to check out our Crochet Anything with Rectangles class where you'll take the basic shape you already have down pat and turn it into useful, practical, and beautifully professional projects.
