Home handmade is an integral part of the interior. I would like to bring something original, original, warmed by the warmth of my hands and created in the evenings with my family to the design of my favorite kitchen. Crochet potholders seem like too much of a challenge. In fact, an openwork product is not a very difficult job. It will take a little patience and persistence. A lot of love and desire to make the house more comfortable. The reward will be the admiring glances of the guests - a stylish accent attracts attention and arouses interest.

Often they learn handicrafts on their own. Master classes and detailed instructions help you master the basics. Skills are practiced and consolidated in the process of creating their own products. Crochet potholders - diagrams with descriptions and photos are given below - a great start and a test of hand-made skills. This is not to say that they are easier to knit than napkins. But no more difficult than tablecloths or capes.

You can start a collection of accessories made in the same style and decorate the kitchen with handicrafts. It is important to prepare for the starting process and think through the nuances in advance. It is recommended to start with choosing yarn.

Bright ideas for a stylish kitchen

Acrylic-based synthetic fibers are immediately rejected - they easily melt and burn. For the same reason, wool should not be chosen. Thin threads are not suitable. A crocheted potholder should be quite tight to easily withstand contact with a hot surface. Of course, knitting is perceived as a decorative element. But the accessory is suitable for practical use if you choose the right yarn:

• Cotton threads. An excellent option for kitchen accessories is mercerized cotton, the so-called “Iris”. Special processing increases the strength of the yarn and gives it a silky shine. The threads are dyed in bright rich colors that do not fade over time. Its performance characteristics have led to its high popularity among needlewomen - “Iris” has been chosen for more than 150 years.
• Linen threads. Durable handicraft material, which is preferred by admirers of natural fibers. Linen is difficult to dye. Subdued tones look noble, and the finished products are textured and fit perfectly into the home style.
• Bamboo threads. The properties and quality are largely identical to flax. Yarn is the choice of those who value absolute hypoallergenicity and environmental friendliness. However, it is more expensive than the more common cotton counterparts.

It is important to know! It is acceptable to use threads with a small content of synthetics or wool fibers. They are more elastic and it is easier to choose the yarn of the required thickness.

Autumn motifs - why not highlight the beauty of the season

Crocheting potholders with patterns and descriptions

Crocheted potholders with patterns and descriptions are a real find for needlewomen. The more detailed and illustrated the instructions are, the higher the quality of the finished sample. It is recommended to pay due attention to the development of schematic images. This helps to avoid mistakes when knitting accessories.

Flower

One of the simplest and most common forms for crocheting - patterns are easy to find, as is choosing yarn. The popularity is due to the fact that floral elements look advantageous in the interior. It is possible to experiment with color schemes and create entire “bouquets” - compositions that harmonize the design and fit into any style.

Example from dark red and golden beige yarn

For crocheting potholders, choose tool No. 2.0 and think in advance about a combination of colors, usually two contrasting ones. Then proceed as follows:

• The process starts from the center with a dark red thread. Dial 8 air. p. and close the ring.
• In the second row, knit 18 sts. s/n.
• In the third - by 1 tbsp. with a second row crochet, knit a loop of 23 air. loops and join in the same column. Next knit 1 tbsp. b/n and get 9 long loops and 1 tbsp. b/n between them.
• In the fourth and fifth, the resulting loops are tied with non-woven stitches. At the top of each loop add 3 tbsp. b/n.
• At the sixth or seventh mark, change the thread and maintain the same order of crocheting the potholder. The eighth to ninth rows are done in a different color.
• After the tenth row, knitted with contrasting yarn, the petal is folded to the left. To do this, count 7 tbsp. b/n from the top, wrap the petal and connect with the next 8 tbsp. b/n. The remaining elements are performed similarly.

The accessory is used as a decorative element and as an everyday helper in the kitchen. Periodic washing in cool water followed by light starching and ironing is sufficient. The shape and color are retained for a long time.

The pattern is also known as a "star" pattern due to the shape of the petals

Spectacular composition of three products

It is important to know! The element can be included in a mantle, tablecloth or handmade kitchen curtain.

Strawberry

Berry motifs are popular when decorating a kitchen. Brings a taste of summer into winter. In autumn they prolong the feeling of warmth, and in spring they give a premonition of light and freshness of berries. One of the most interesting forms is strawberry, the spring-summer symbol of the season of delicious vitamins. Bright, rich crocheted potholders decorate the space and become the highlight of the interior.

A 2.5-3.0 hook is recommended. You will need twice as many red threads as green threads. For example, for a product with a diameter of 21 cm you will need 100 g of red and 50 g of green yarn - 80 m/50 g. Knit as follows (step-by-step description of the pattern):

Composition of two berries

This is what a composition of two berries looks like

Detailed schematic illustration

Process description:

• You will need threads of three colors - red, pink-red, green.
• The berry and tail are knitted separately, then carefully sewn together.
• Each row of strawberries consists of single crochets - increasing and decreasing the quantity according to the counting instructions.
• Starting from the third row from the bottom or from the second from the top, with equal indentation vertically and horizontally, knit 6 stitches together. s/n in one base loop. Each s/n is knitted on the 4th or 3rd 2 rows below (see diagram).
• In the leaves and along the contour of the berry, if the icons are connected at the bottom of the b/n columns, then the loops are knitted in the same loop of the base. When connecting the badges at the top, the loops are knitted together.

The result is a dense, voluminous “strawberry” that is suitable for decoration and practical use.

Another openwork option

Example of finished work

Sunflower

The sunflower is one of the sunniest symbols, which makes you feel warmer and brighter. Crocheting potholders for a country, Mediterranean or modern-neutral style isn't complete without a cheerful element.

The accessory reliably conveys the color of the yellow and black hat

Another option for knitted potholders in the shape of a sunflower

As a guide and assistant, they rely on the instructions for creating sunflower napkins. When analyzing drawings, the degree of delicacy of the future product is taken into account. If the accessory is intended for decoration, this factor is of little significance. But for everyday use, dense options are suitable. The main thing is not to forget about the loop by which the knitted item is hung.

It is important to know! Imitation of seeds is performed using the “bump” and “popcorn” techniques

Bees

Bees are identified with hard work, caring for home and loved ones. Cheerful and radiant creatures fit harmoniously into the interior. Pictures of knitting potholders in the shape of bees put you in a good mood. Not to mention the pleasure the exciting process brings.

Photo of a playful couple inspires creativity

The following materials and tools are required for implementation:

• Cotton threads of three colors with a density of 70 m/50 g - 50 g each of black, yellow, white and beige or pink.
• Mercerized natural threads - one skein each of black, white, beige and red.
• Hooks No. 1.5 and 3.5.

Procedure for crocheting potholders:

• Start working with a 3.5 crochet hook. The main pattern is performed according to the counting pattern (attached below) with single crochets. Make sure that the new row begins with one additional lifting air loop.
• When changing colors, the last stitch is knitted with the next color. The threads are crossed on the wrong side.
• The increases are tied with single crochets, and the end of the row is done in a mirror way - with double crochets.
• The decreases at the beginning of the row are skipped (c/n columns), and at the end they are simply not knitted.

The eyes are made from mercerized yarn using a 1.5 crochet hook. Start from the bottom - cast on 4 vp in black, then close it into a ring. 12 stitches are knitted into the resulting circle. b/n and make 1 connecting post to which a white thread is tied. Half the row is knitted with 2 tbsp. b/n in the 2nd paragraph, 2 tbsp. s/n in the 3rd paragraph, 3 tbsp. with 2/n in the 4th p., 2st s/n in the 5th p., 2 tbsp. b/n in the 6th paragraph and 1 connection. Art. in the 7th p.

Crocheting techniques for potholders with photos

Crochet potholders are made using classic techniques that have stood the test of time. When choosing a method, an important factor is taken into account: the density of the pattern. Openwork lace is suitable for napkins, weightless curtains and light capes.

Kitchen accessories should protect your hands from hot handles of pots and pans. For decorative purposes - to create an atmosphere and the feeling that they are still being used.

Classic techniques for crocheting potholders:

• Bruges lace. A simple and effective way to create tightly knitted items. It consists of ribbons that are connected to adjacent rows using connecting posts and arches. The shorter the auxiliary elements, the denser the product.
• Irish lace. The leader in creating three-dimensional elements that are often used when crocheting potholders. The technology allows you to implement original ideas and make beautiful products that will come in handy in your own kitchen or as a gift to loved ones.

In many cases, needlewomen make do with standard techniques, including double crochets and single crochets, semi-posts, arches, chain loops and various connecting elements. However, the set is often not enough. The time has come to expand your knowledge and learn new techniques.

Unusual idea for a free-form product

When creating this beauty, Irish technology was also involved.

Even armed with a diagram and description, crocheting a potholder can be difficult for a beginner. Lacks skill and determination. I would like to learn more about techniques and improve my skills. Professional needlewomen, whose advice is worth its weight in gold, help with this. Real craftswomen share their secrets without hiding and help in implementing ideas.
