Beautiful work! Another way to make this potholder is to crochet using two strands of yarn. When you do that there is no need to crochet two and stitch together the two pieces.
@@roseterhune922 i tried it with the same size. it didn’t work well for me. I tried it with a size 5mm hook and it makes potholder a bigger size. i took it apart.
Girl I don't know about anybody else but your so awesome. Lol your like a sweet gentle caring kindergarten teacher 😄I'm 60 yo and I feel such an accomplishment when I follow you.. 😄when you say great or fantastic and my pattern is right just like you showed I get so excited 😆😄not only are you teaching me something I love but you bring happiness to my heart. THANK YOU TIFF SINCERELY LISA 🤗
Oh my goodness your comment just warmed my heart Lisa! It makes me so happy that I could make you feel such happy feelings when you are crocheting away. That is all I want with my channel. To help people believe that they can do it, understand why they are doing what they are doing, and have a great time. If I could do that for you then I have succeeded in what I set out to do. 😊🧶🧡
I haven't seen this method of putting both together with a SC, thank you for sharing! And I'm so impressed you can crochet with such long nails, I don't think I could do that!
Hi Kjlinger23! Yes, the stacking method with the sc added that extra protection and a pretty finish I liked a lot. Thanks for noticing! Haha, the nails did get a bit distracting when they got long. I liked to have them because I felt they made my nails look very professional but I would always try to keep them super short if I could manage it 😉❤️🧶
I just finished my second of these after seeing how great the first one worked out. So nice and thick! For this one I used Hobby Lobby I love this cotton, which is a lighter #4 than the Lily sugar n creme I used on the first. I like the Hobby Lobby better for this pattern as the pad comes out thick enough for a hot pad, but also flexible enough to use as a pot holder. Very nice. And I love the cool stitch pattern. Thank you!
I struggled with row 2, trying to work in the bottom piece as you like to do. Girl, i was pulling my hair out. But, determination and an old 80 yr old stubborn brain would not let me QUIT. So here i am at row 4 and the small strip is lookin' pretty good. I bought the Yarn Bee Sugarwheel Cotton from Hobby Lobby. So far i am enjoying working with it. I am usually crocheting with worsted weight, acrylic yarn. So, this cotton is a lot different. But, here goes another row or 30.
Peggy I am so proud of you for sticking with it and your determination! Way to go! Oh I LOVE sugarwheel cotton from Hobby Lobby. Their colors are absolutely stunning. 😊🧶🧡
Thank you, Tiffany, for the wonderful tutorial. It was very easy to follow along with you. It is very clear and easy to understand. I look forward to more tutorials. Your are a great teacher! Have a fantastic day.
Oh it is! I use these all the time in my own kitchen. They are very usable and very durable. Haha, I've actually caught one on fire by accident and it still held up. 😄🧡🧶
Aw. Thanks for the heart! That was so kind of you! Love your videos. Thanks for making things seem so beginner friendly! You are a wonderful teacher ! Not everybody can do that, so that is pretty darn special and why I like all your videos and subscribed to your you tube vlogs. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!!
Tiffany, I really enjoy your channel. Do you have any tips for teaching my granddaughter how to crochet? She will be home schooling this semester and she is 10 years old. Thank you so much. Cathleen
Hi Cathleen!! I have created some helpful Getting Started videos including a Getting Started Series you can check out and either use to help or guide teaching your granddaughter. How special!! Love that you are able to pass down this amazing craft. 😊🧶❤️
I have a question that a lot of people may think is silly but I am very new to crochet. Does it matter which direction you turn your work at the end each row?
Hi Misty Smith! Great question! Nope, it does not matter which way you turn your work so that you can get to the next row. Some people may say yes and be very set in a certain way but really, when you break it down. It does not matter. Thanks for asking! 😊🧡🧶
When sewing/crocheting the 2 pieces together it may be helpful for some crocheters to use a stitch marker or safety pin at the corners and middle to keep stitches lined up. It is less likely to get misaligned when sewing pieces together.
GREAT question!!! Yes, I would say an H hook would work fine. Moving up to an I hook might work but the stitches will be bigger and more roomy which could open up the possibility or exposure of something hot touching your skin. Just a thought. 😊❤️🧶
OH my goodness!! ANYTHING really! I actually used this same stitch to make my Popsicle Summer Blanket, my Old Hollywood Blanket, and anything else with the Crunch Stitch. Because that is the actual name for the stitch I used on this Pot Holder. 😊❤️🧶 But you could really use this stitch to make anything.
Hey Tiffany! Out of curiosity, why did you use a G hook (instead of recommended H?). Is it because the stitches should be tight? Just practicing now with H hook & wondering if I should go smaller like you?
That is a great question and great recognition that typically we would use an H-hook. That is exactly it. I used the G hook because I wanted my stitches to be tighter, more dense, as to close any holes or gaps and protecting my hand from any potential contact I could have with the hot pan. 😊❤️🧶
That's a great question Cathie! Honestly, that's just how I've always done it. I think it does make it easier for me. But feel free to make any adjustment that make it easier for you. 😊❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffany LoL, no problem. I enjoyed your video very much, the fact that it also made me laugh is another plus point for me. The invaluable knowledge that you share is amazing, honey...never stop being creative! 😘👍
How can I tell what stitch is next after putting my project down for a few min then picking it up again. I am new to crochet. Have learn from videos like this
That is a great question @nancole3180. Sometimes looking at the pattern can help. You will see what stitches are repeating themselves and then when you look at your work you can see, "oh, that is this stitch so next I have to do that stitch." If this is something you are struggling with it is perfectly ok to back up a little bit and focus on working basic stitches like single crochets only or Half Double crochets only for a little while until you get the hang of things. It is better to ease into it and love the process than jump right into making things and feel frustrations. 😊❤️🧶
Hi Amy! Actually I did make a blanket with this stitch! A couple! I really like this stitch. 😊. Check out the Popsicle Blanket which has multiple size options and information. And the Old Hollywood Blanket! 🤗❤️🧶
Thanks Tiffany!! This will make GREAT Christmas gifts!! I’ll be crocheting this Potholder and the Dishcloth and probably even the Scrubbie and give them as a set for Christmas gifts this year!! Thank you so very much!! What are some ideas to crochet for a man that would make a good Christmas gift? Our middle grandson lives in Delaware, he will be very cold this winter. Our oldest grandson lives in Hobbs, New Mexico were it’s cold but usually more of a milder cold. Then our youngest grandson lives in Monahans, Texas and our winters there are more milder like it is in Hobbs, New Mexico. (That part of West Texas and eastern New Mexico usually has more of a mild winter…nothing like what our middle grandson will have that lives in Dover, Delaware!! If you happen to have any ideas please share them!! This MeeMaw needs all the help she can get!! Thanks again Tiffany, you are a wonderful woman, friend & teacher, NORMA COLLINS FROM TEXAS
Hello fellow Texan! I am so happy you like my Potholder and Dishcloth and scrubbie! They do make for good gifts, especially when you make them as a set. Honestly when it comes to crocheting gifts for guys stick with the basic beanie/ scarf and gloves. They are perfectly good with that. Maybe try to figure out if they have a favorite color to wear or a favorite sports team and make these things in those colors. Thank you so much for your kind words Norma! I am so grateful to have you crochet with me. 😊🧡🧶
Great question Kimberly! I would not. Cotton yarn is stronger, more durable, and reacts better to heat and water when needing to be cleaned than Acrylic/Synthetic or Wool based yarns. Technically you could use a different yarn but I don’t think you will be happy with the results and functionality. 😊❤️🧶
Hi Kimberly! When it comes to the border that sews the two sides together just single crochet in each stitch one-to-one around the corners. No need to make 3 sc in the corners but if you want to you can absolutely make 3 sc in the corners. 😊🧶🧡
Hi Marlynn. That is a great question. I wouldn't for a couple reasons. Acrylic yarn does not hold up being washed as often as you will want to wash a pot holder. Also, acrylic yarn is often synthetic fibers and can melt under the high heat. Cotton yarn will be more durable. I hope this makes sense and helps your decision. 😊🧶🧡
I have watched this more times than I care to admit. In the beginning I am stuck on the two spaces over from hook for 1/2 double crochet then one space for slip stitch. I think I’m only doing one stitch over?
Hi Blank. Hmm, Try watching my Crunch Stitch tutorial to see if that might help. This pot holder is basically just 2 squares of the crunch stitch joined together. Here's a link to that video: ruclips.net/video/1HTzithUljI/видео.html
Hi TwistedRose! Hmm, I would try a different 100% cotton yarn. There are a couple different brands to choose from and some are more coarse than others. OR you could try combining and crochet both a scrubby yarn with a 100%cotton yarn and crochet them together which would help add some friction to your pot holder and make it less slippery. Great question! Thank you so much for asking. 😊🧡🧶
I don’t know it it’s me or the yarn but I had a hard time crocheting it. I ripped it out twice. I am a beginner so I’ll chock this up as a learning tutorial. You did an awesome job making the tutorial I just had problems working with cotton stitches and yarn splitting on me. Is there another yarn that could be used?
oh bummer! Sorry it didn't work out for you. There are actually a couple different kinds of cotton yarns you can try. Maybe the kind you had just wasn't for you. I recommend cotton because the material is so thick and strong. If you really wanted to try something else you could use a size 4 acrylic yarn but I would probably add a liner in between the two sides before you crochet them together just to give you an added protection. Thank you so much for reaching out! I hope you find something that works for you. Proud of you for not giving up! 🧡🧶😊
Great question JoAnn! I would create the little hang look when making the border. Right before you close the border make 10 chains then slip stitch to close border. If you want to make it thicker do one more row around for the border. 😉😊👍🏻
The tutorial is very detailed and specific. Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything else I can help with! I am hoping the words I added in are helpful.
I am a beginner as in this is my first potholder. After I single crochet 2x on the corner of row 2, do I skip the first stitch and stArt with a HDC in the second stitch?
Good tutorial but your music goes so loud, that I had to constantly get up and turn it down, then I couldn't here you speak so I had to turn the volume back up.
Sorry about that. This was one of my first videos and I was just figuring things out. I learned pretty quickly to just avoid using music all together. 😊. Thanks for watching though! I hope you liked the project. 😊❤️🧶
Hi DebSeesAll! I think the texture and the fact that it is double layered is what helps to protect your hand. Either way I use these pot holders all the time and they work great! 😊❤️🧶
Hi Mizlizzie! I've actually been asked this a couple different times. Honestly, It has just become a muscle memory for me at this point. I just go straight in position. Don't ever feel like you have to hold your hands the way that I do. I'm sure at some point I will need to play with other holds to help my hands. 😊🧡🧶
Hi Angela! How cool! Hello neighbor 😄. Hmm, if yours is not turning out squarish by following the pattern that is ok. Eyeball it. If you want to add a few extra rows to get the shape you want then do it. Subtract a few rows. Do it. Make this yours. And then repeat what you did for the second one that way you can crochet them together and they match. I have noticed that some cotton yarns crochet differently than others even though they claim to be the same size. It's weird. Thanks for reaching out! 😊🧶🧡
Hi Cynthia, yes, it's different, it's new, and it's just an option. There was a time that fabric glue was the only thing that really worked for me but since being on RUclips I have been introduced to many different techniques. But the fabric glue is a nice trick to keep in my pocket.
Great question. You Could use acrylic yarn and tight stitches with the double layer. But what I worry about is when you go to wash it. My experience with acrylic yarn is that is softens and relaxes which could result in less protection against the hot item. My experience with the cotton yarn for the pot holder is that it maintained form and structure. I have literally lit one on fire (accidentally). Causing an entire corner to be burned off and yet I still use that pot holder to this day. It just continues to hold structure and works great pulling anything out of the oven. I’m not saying Don’t use acrylic. I’m just saying this has been my experience. If you do make a pot holder out of acrylic let me know how it works out for you 😊.
Ahh hopefully you haven't tried it on anything! Acrylic is plastic so when subjected to high heat it can melt depending on the brand/stitch. Cotton yarn can be $1.77 for 90 yards, which should be more than enough for a potholder. Definitely worth the splurge!
Sorry about the sounds. This was one of my first videos and I learned that people are not big fans of music in tutorials. I'm glad my instructions were helpful. 😊❤️🧶
I don't like the way she teaches would not recommend it was very confusing as she doesn't show very well the hole you should put your crochet hook into. It was very confusing to me.
I'm sorry this tutorial was not helpful for you. This was literally my second crochet tutorial ever. I feel that if you checked out my more recent work you will see that I have grown tremendously in the way I do my tutorials. I hope you would check out more of my work before having such a firm opinion. Thank you for your feedback. 😊
No, Seriously! If you struggle with weaving in your ends this one very specific fabric glue is a lifesaver. But it has to be this one brand and this one type. None other. Don't knock it till you try it. Game changer. But really more so as a last resort, not an end all be all.
Beautiful work! Another way to make this potholder is to crochet using two strands of yarn. When you do that there is no need to crochet two and stitch together the two pieces.
Hi Gina! What an awesome idea! I love that and will definitely give that a try. Thanks! 😊❤️🧶
Do you use the same size crochet hook or go up to a larger size since you are using to strands?
Hook size?
@@roseterhune922 i tried it with the same size. it didn’t work well for me. I tried it with a size 5mm hook and it makes potholder a bigger size. i took it apart.

What if you want to make it bigger like for casserole dish, how many chains would u need?
Great question Shaelyne! This pattern has a multiple stitch count requirement of multiple 2 + 1. Using that you can make any size you would like. 😊❤️🧶
Can you make it with regular yarn
Great question Kimberly! I would not. Cotton yarn is stronger, more durable, and reacts better to heat and water when needing to be cleaned than Acrylic/Synthetic or Wool based yarns.

Does it have to be an even number ?

Sorry about that. This was one of my first videos and I was just figuring things out. I learned pretty quickly to just avoid using music all together. 😊. Thanks for watching though! I hope you liked the project. 😊❤️🧶
What strength yarn
This is Lily’s Sugar’n Cream yarn. 100% cotton size 4 weight. 😊❤️🧶
How does this pot holder pattern keep you from burning your fingers compared to the thermal stitch?
Hi DebSeesAll! I think the texture and the fact that it is double layered is what helps to protect your hand. Either way I use these pot holders all the time and they work great! 😊❤️🧶

Thank you
Can I use this design for making table runner?
Definitely! Would make for a beautiful table runner!
what yarn/cord is this? if you were to order it? Thanks and what size hook?
Hi Darcy! This is Lily’s Sugar n Cream 100% cotton yarn in Rouge Red I believe. 😊🧶❤️
Does your index finger ever hurt from being bent like that all the time..?? I have osteoporosis in my hands and that would hurt me so bad ..!!!
Hi Mizlizzie! I've actually been asked this a couple different times. Honestly, It has just become a muscle memory for me at this point. I just go straight in position. Don't ever feel like you have to hold your hands the way that I do. I'm sure at some point I will need to play with other holds to help my hands. 😊🧡🧶
You’re in Flower Mound? Super cool! I’m from Irving! I love this pattern, but mine is not coming out square in the end. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Angela! How cool! Hello neighbor 😄. Hmm, if yours is not turning out squarish by following the pattern that is ok. Eyeball it. If you want to add a few extra rows to get the shape you want then do it. Subtract a few rows. Do it. Make this yours. And then repeat what you did for the second one that way you can crochet them together and they match. I have noticed that some cotton yarns crochet differently than others even though they claim to be the same size. It's weird. Thanks for reaching out! 😊🧶🧡
Count your stitches!
After figuring out what I was doing wrong this has become my absolute favorite pattern for pot holders. I have made several and love them!
How many rows
30. I tried to make it as square as possible. 😊
Beautiful job but it’s not easy for beginners
Thank you for the feedback. 😊🧶❤️
How many inches is this pot holder?
Hi Janette! This pot holder is approximately 9 inches wide by 9 inches long. 😊🧡🧶
What weight yarn?
Size 4 weight Lily's Sugar'n Cream 😊❤️🧶
In all the years I have been crocheting I have never used glue.
Hi Cynthia, yes, it's different, it's new, and it's just an option. There was a time that fabric glue was the only thing that really worked for me but since being on RUclips I have been introduced to many different techniques. But the fabric glue is a nice trick to keep in my pocket.
What happens if you use acrylic yarn? Does it have to be cotton?
Great question. You Could use acrylic yarn and tight stitches with the double layer. But what I worry about is when you go to wash it. My experience with acrylic yarn is that is softens and relaxes which could result in less protection against the hot item. My experience with the cotton yarn for the pot holder is that it maintained form and structure. I have literally lit one on fire (accidentally). Causing an entire corner to be burned off and yet I still use that pot holder to this day. It just continues to hold structure and works great pulling anything out of the oven. I’m not saying Don’t use acrylic. I’m just saying this has been my experience. If you do make a pot holder out of acrylic let me know how it works out for you 😊.
Ahh hopefully you haven't tried it on anything! Acrylic is plastic so when subjected to high heat it can melt depending on the brand/stitch. Cotton yarn can be $1.77 for 90 yards, which should be more than enough for a potholder. Definitely worth the splurge!
good video except for the sound filler, super annoying, but your teaching part is excellent.
Sorry about the sounds. This was one of my first videos and I learned that people are not big fans of music in tutorials. I'm glad my instructions were helpful. 😊❤️🧶
:)🌻
I don't like the way she teaches would not recommend it was very confusing as she doesn't show very well the hole you should put your crochet hook into. It was very confusing to me.
I'm sorry this tutorial was not helpful for you. This was literally my second crochet tutorial ever. I feel that if you checked out my more recent work you will see that I have grown tremendously in the way I do my tutorials. I hope you would check out more of my work before having such a firm opinion. Thank you for your feedback. 😊
Glue???? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
No, Seriously! If you struggle with weaving in your ends this one very specific fabric glue is a lifesaver. But it has to be this one brand and this one type. None other. Don't knock it till you try it. Game changer. But really more so as a last resort, not an end all be all.
