This dou­ble-thick cro­chet pothold­er is made using basic stitch­es like sin­gle cro­chet and slip stitch, mak­ing it per­fect for begin­ners. The pat­tern cre­ates a dense, lay­ered tex­ture that not only looks great but offers real pro­tec­tion from heat — ide­al for han­dling hot pans or pro­tect­ing your coun­ter­tops. You can use 100% cot­ton yarn, which is nat­u­ral­ly heat-resis­tant, wash­able, and holds its shape beau­ti­ful­ly. The design is sim­ple but cus­tomiz­able, so you can adjust the size or col­ors to match your kitchen or gift­ing needs. It’s also a great scrap-bust­ing project, using just a small amount of yarn for a prac­ti­cal, every­day item.
