What happens when you marry Tapestry Crochet with the Thermal Stitch? Designs with pizzazz, that’s what! This potholder really makes a statement with the different designs on both sides! Take your Thermal Stitch project to the next level with this pattern!

The thermal stitch creates a nice, thick fabric that is perfect for potholders. When using cotton yarn, the potholder will not melt and will protect your hands when removing hot dishes from the oven. The design really shows up nicely with the color changes and carried yarn!

This potholder makes a great gift for many occasions! Choose the recipients’ favorite colors, or their kitchen colors, for a thoughtful gift! This is a great project to use up scraps of yarn!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Knowledge of how to work the crocheted Thermal Stitch and how to change colors is required to crochet this potholder.
