Crochet potholders: what you should consider
Whether you're looking for a gift or want to spruce up your own kitchen, crocheting potholders is always a great way to add color to your everyday life. There are no limits to what you can do when crocheting potholders. However, there are some points that you should pay attention to, so that you can use the potholders safely. Especially if you want to use the potholders for their real purpose, the stitches should necessarily be crocheted very tight, so that the heat can not get through so well. However, if the potholders are to be crocheted more decoratively, you can make them more coarse mesh. Also, the yarn is crucial. Anything that can melt, i.e. has a plastic content, must not be used. Yarn that is 100% cotton is well suited. This is naturally heat resistant. In addition, yarn made from virgin wool is extremely suitable, as this is hardly flammable. Safety should clearly be the focus of such a project. You can also check the packaging of your yarn to see if it can be ironed. If so, then it is also suitable for crocheting potholders. Generally, the thicker the crocheted potholder is, the less heat it will let through. Of course, our potholder crochet kits only include yarn that is well suited for this use. So if you would like to crochet this popular classic yourself, feel free to check out our assortment.

We from proud2craft are a team of different characters, who are united by the love for handmade things. We are very interested in sustainability and like everything to do with crocheting, knitting, embroidery, sewing and macramé. We would like to get that out there and share it with many different people, not just members of the DIY community. Because we believe that many don't trust themselves to do these techniques. That's why we simplify the process.

Crochet potholders, knit potholders or sew potholders?
You can not only crochet potholders, but also knit potholders and sew potholders. These techniques are great ways to let off steam creatively and especially to get rid of yarn and fabric scraps. When sewing potholders, make sure the fabric is not synthetic, but 100% natural fibers. If you are unsure, be sure to check the label again. As with the yarn, cotton or even linen fabrics are well suited.
If you want to make potholders yourself, then you can get really creative in terms of patterns and shape. The normal potholders, whether knitted, crocheted or sewn, are square. The surface should have a side length of at least 20 cm, so that these can be well used for pots and pans. However, you can vary the design. Whether you use fancy patterns and colors, or perhaps an animal design, is entirely up to you. Just make sure that you can hold the finished potholders well and the shape is not in the way of use. We are happy to help you! Just contact us at proud2craft and we will help you crochet potholders.
