This is a quick to make\u00a0double-thick potholder.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This sample is made with 100% acrylic worsted weight yarn with a size I (5.5mm) crochet hook. \u00a0If potholder is going to be used with high heat, it is best made in a natural fiber like cotton or wool. \u00a0With kitchen cotton, I typically use an H (5mm) hook.<\/div>\n
