The basic construction of this potholder is incredibly simple – two rectangles crocheted together – and creates a very sturdy, very thick potholder that can also be used as a trivit. The stitch pattern you use, a front post double crochet, creates nice texture integrating form and function. The piece is edged in a reverse single crochet and, like any potholder worth its salt, it has a handy loop for hanging near your stove.

Hope you like it!
