A basic, multipurpose pattern that will have even the newest crocheter stitching up a storm! This potholder is double layered to hold up to even the hottest pots and pans, and easily goes from kitchen to table as a protective trivet. A little loop at one corner and you can hang the washable potholder from a hook, ready to grab and go!

I’ve written the pattern with the terminology written out as well as abbreviated, so even if you are still learning the abbreviations, this is a good pattern to try.

The pattern allows for quite a bit of adjustment/adaptation for the (slightly) more advanced crocheter.
