Four Circles Potholder

Design by Marie Segares/Underground Crafter.

This is one of 3 potholders featuring circle motifs. This one is made of four, joined motifs. Instructions are also included for granny square versions without the hanging loop.

Skills Used

• Basic crochet stitches: chain, double crochet, half double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch
• Crocheting in the round
• Changing colors, crocheting in the back loop only
• Seaming with slip stitch (linked to photo tutorial)

Gauge: Finished Potholder = 7.5” (19 cm) square in pattern. Exact gauge is not critical for this project, but stitches should be tight so potholders can protect hands and surfaces from heat.
