Simple and easy beginners project. CROCHET POT HOLDER A Circle becomes a Square and double thick.
SQUARE POTHOLDER Truly an easy project as you merely continue round and round and eventually the circle becomes a square and you just close it up and now you have a double thick potholder. Peaches and Cream 4 Ply 100% Cotton Yarn Crochet Hook size G Finished Size of Potholder 7” X 71/2 “ (Easily made bigger or smaller) Stitches used CH = Chain SC = Single crochet Chain 40 (For bigger potholder chain more for smaller chain less. It does not matter if stitches are even or not.) Row 1 – SC in the first CH and in each CH across, CH 2 (This will be the only time that you CH 2). Round the corner and SC on the opposite side of previous row (some might call this the bottom of previous row) all the way across. Don’t forget to SC in CH 2 Space. Continue around the corner working SC in each SC. The corners will start to fold in. Just continue to SC in each SC, going all the way around. Trust me the ends will eventually come together and you will have a square potholder. Double thick! When your two ends meet in the middle, tie off. Leave about 12”-14” to whipstitch together. Tami’s Comments This potholder is another of my favorite things to crochet. It is so easy to make and the possibilities are endless. You can use more than one color and make all different kinds of patterns. I will try to get some made and post them on the site. I like the little potholders but it is so easy just to add more stitches to your chain and viola you have a bigger potholder or hot pad. This is also a small project that can easily be taken anywhere. Synthetic yarns will tend to melt so stick to cotton. Remember these are flammable so do not use near open flame or let touch a red hot electric burner. You could apply flame retardant or buy flame retardant yarn. But I have been using these for years and have never had a problem. The acrylics tend to flatten and melt a bit over time. Like years of use taking things out of a 400 degree oven and setting these hot dishes on the potholders. But the Cottons don't melt at all even with years of use and that is why I tend to use cotton more often now. No it is not going to melt away and stink up your kitchen. But over time like years you will notice it flatten and show signs it has gotten really hot and started to melt a bit. Just use cotton and you can avoid the issue. Please drop me a e-mail and let me know what you think. Tami Spanaway, WA.

The following is the same on all pages and if you have
already read it, you need not bother reading it again. My daughter has Cerebral Palsy. I do not say this for sympathy. I have created a site devoted to helping people with disabilities find resources they need to navigate DSHS, DDD, SSI and others including the school system. What I need from you is to let people with disabilities know of the site and get them to send me information of their local and State agencies that fulfill the needs of the disabled. I want to make this information available to all for free on my site. I just need the help of either a person with a child having cerebral palsy or any disability or a concerned person who can donate their time to help seek out this information of advocacy groups for the disabled. I am spending what time and resources I have but I need help. Through having to take our daughter to therapy and doctors appointments we have come to know many parent's of children with Cerebral Palsy. In the course of our attempts to advocate for our daughter and upon hearing of the same troubles others have had doing the same we decided to use some web space and try to do something about it. We want very much to be able to provide relevant information for every locality across the country so that people seeking information do not have to spend days in search of the information they need. We would welcome any help you could give us. Any links you can supply for either .gov's or private agencies that provide for or advocate for the Disabled would be appreciated. We would like to break them down by Federal, State, County, City and Schools. Please visit www.cpfsn.org and see if there is anything you can contribute to grow the site into a useful and relevant site for people with disabilities specially those with Children who have Cerebral Palsy.
