Examples of patterns for knitting potholders:

Classic potholders

Potholders are among the easiest pieces to make when it comes to knitting. Especially knitting beginners therefore opt for these practical kitchen helpers to put their first knitting skills into practice. Most simple models are first knitted in one colour, and the shape is often square. However, you can also use knitting patterns for potholders from Crazypatterns, which feature several colours, a pattern or other details.

Tip: Don't forget to attach a hook to the finished potholder to hang it up. That way you can always hang it up neatly and have it ready to hand.

Striped Potholders

Striped oven mitts are an eye-catcher in the kitchen. Choose your favourite colours and create your oven mitts in a beautiful striped design. The most striking are strong contrasting colours, for example black-red or yellow-blue - but there are also less striking models. These look particularly good if you choose colours that match the kitchen design.

Round, square or oval pot holders

You have a free choice of shapes. Square models are the easiest to knit. But Crazypatterns also has knitting patterns for potholders with other shapes. For example, round potholders, oval potholders or other models. Choose the shape that fits best in your kitchen.

Heart Shaped Potholder

Potholders are a perfect gift for Mother's Day or for a wedding anniversary when the woman loves to cook and always needs new practical kitchen helpers.

Potholder as trivet

You can use very tightly knitted pot holders as trivets. Simply place them on the table and put the hot pan or pot on top. For example, the hot soup, from which everyone can then take a refill at any time.

Wiping cloths or dry cloths

The classic potholders, when knitted a little larger, are good for use as kitchen mops. However, not all yarns are suitable for absorbing moisture well. Simple cotton yarns are also easy to wash out and clean. You can also use them to dry dishes and thus add more useful helpers to your kitchen equipment.

These are the materials you need to knit a potholder

If you already like to knit, you probably already have a few tools at home, and especially some beautiful wool. The knitting patterns from Crazypatterns always explain exactly which materials you need for your chosen potholder. Yarn or wool in the respective gauge is just as important as the matching knitting needles. The pattern will tell you exactly whether you need a gauge 3 or 5 or whether you prefer a circular needle with a size 9. These instructions tell you what you need to knit your chosen potholder 1:1 as shown in the photo.

Suitable material is, for example, cotton yarn, textile yarn or potholder yarn. It is important that the yarn is strong so that you can actually touch hot pots, pans or baking trays without burning your fingers. It is important that there is a good cleaning option and that the material remains intact for a long time. Only then will you return to it again and again and use it as an accessory in your kitchen.

To start knitting potholders right away, you should have the following at home:

Wool or yarn in your favourite colours
Knitting needles in different gauges
1 circular knitting needle
