Crochet Ribbed Potholder

Crochet ribbed potholders are not only practical kitchen essentials but also fun and satisfying to make! The ribbed texture adds both visual appeal and extra thickness to protect your hands from heat. Whether you choose a bold color or a more neutral tone, these potholders make a lovely addition to your home or a thoughtful gift for a friend who loves to cook. So grab your crochet hook and yarn, and get ready to whip up a stack of cozy ribbed potholders that will brighten up your kitchen in no time!

Materials Used:

• Worsted weight 100% cotton yarn (I used Lily Sugar and Cream)
• Hook F (3.75mm)
• Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:

CH – chain
ST – stitch
R – row
SC – single crochet
SL ST – slip stitch

Keep in Mind:

• The size of the finished potholder is approximately 8″x8″
• The pattern is worked in back loops (this is how the ribbed look is created)
• Only the first row is worked in the round (to form a loop for hanging), all other rounds are worked back and forth and the work is turned
• CH1 at the beginning of the row does not count as stitch
• Feel free to use yarn in different colors and/or alternate the colors
