Kitchen Pot Holder-Great Beginner Crochet Pattern

If you can complete a chain stitch and a single crochet stitch, you can make this easy beginner kitchen pot holder. This a simple DIY project, but it is so useful. Anyone would just love to have one as a gift. In fact, they would make great Christmas gifts, bridal shower gifts, no home gift, or even a birthday gift for that person, like me, that just loves hand-made items.

Two Strands of Yarn

The pot holder is made quickly by using two strands of yarn held together. I chose colors that I thought would look well together. Then I thought that the pot holder needed to have a bit more finished look and wanted to use a beautiful yarn that would help it pop. This peacock yarn is just so beautiful.
