It is impossible to do in the kitchen without oven mitts.

This household item can also play the role of a decorative element and decorate the interior of the house. Learn how to crochet a potholder with a very basic knowledge of this needlework. All you need is to be careful and be able to knit only chains from chains and single crochets. You can create a whole series of similar pot holders using different colors of yarn, leftovers that have already accumulated in the house over the years. In addition, your children and other household members will greatly benefit by helping you in this matter. For example, children can do part of the work by tying all the potholders with threads of one shade. Thanks to such cooperation, they will learn to work in a team, master the skills of artistic creativity, develop a taste and sense of harmony, and gain knowledge in needlework. But, most importantly, without which they can not do in life -they learn to get things done. Take some time out and make the most of your free time by making crochet potholders with your kids.

Schemes for creating unusual decorations for the kitchen

You will need three colors of yarn (leftover threads are fine). Shades should be well combined with each other and in harmony with the interior of the kitchen. It is better to crochet a crochet hook 3 mm thick. Now be careful and understand the principle of knitting from photographs.

• Start knitting a potholder: crochet a ring made from the thread of the first color. As shown in the illustration, you need to complete 18 single crochets.



• To the resulting ring, add 9 elements of 23 air loops in each. Tie with two rows of single crochets. Please note that at the top of each "petal" you need to change the direction of knitting, so that later you get an imitation of a fold (a kind of "Mobius loop").







• Continue with the second color thread and also knit two rows of single crochets.



• Switch to yarn of the third shade. After two rows of a similar knit, fasten the thread.



• Spread the petals of your work and cover with a dampfabric to fix the position of all elements. After the fabric is dry, continue knitting the pot holder.
• Crochet around the perimeter with a thread of the first color single crochet. Make two rows. Do not forget to create a base for a loop at the top of one of the petals (16 air loops, which should also be tied with simple columns).



• Kitchen decoration is ready.

Crochet potholders are the best workout for beginner needlewomen. Instead of just making patterns based on various patterns, the craftswoman makes useful things for her family. It brings so much more joy to your creativity.
