Looking for a free cotton crochet potholder pattern to try? Learn how to crochet an easy hot pad pattern.
This cotton hot pad crochet pattern uses an easy crochet stitch which is a variation of the single crochet stitch.

Potholder crochet patterns are great for learning a new crochet stitch. This crocheting pattern uses more yarn then usually since the stitches overlap.
You can also make a kitchen cleaning cloth, dish towel, or wash cloth if you use one layer. Crochet kitchen towels work great and are durable.
This crochet stitch makes a double thick single crochet pattern that looks good with solid or multi-colors. I choose a neutral with white, tan, and gray.
These colors are great for any kitchen. They are modern and neutral. There are lots of other colors to chose from too.
