That said, there are other ways to do ribbed farmhouse potholders, and this one shows just that. In particular, I love the diagonal seam line and the right-angled ribbing.

Dutch Skies Potholders
These potholders are easily styled for each kitchen decor! As they are large and supple (about 19 cm or 7,5in diameter) there's surely enough surface to keep your hand from burning while baking your delicious food. I would recommend cotton for the potholders, as it is easily to wash and and heat-resistant. In this pattern I used Phildar Phil Coton 3, but any other cotton will do! I used 5 different colours (4 for the body and 1 for the edging) but again, this is completely up to your imagination! Enjoy, and make some potholders! And when youre done, make some more! Because you can never ever have to many potholders, right? ps. They make an amazing house-warming gift!
Crochet Cactus Potholders
Cacti are happy, bright, summery, and fun - so Crochet Cactus Potholders are perfect for your kitchen! These thick squishy crocheted hot pads make great trivets too! The key to the Crochet Cactus Potholders is to use 100% cotton yarn - Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie! With cotton yarn, you can use these Cacti with hot dishes without worrying about melting your project on your next hot dish. The Crochet Cactus Potholders are a set - there's a tall cactus and a ball cactus, both kitchen ready. But they aren’t limited to being just potholders! The tall cactus also would make a great oven mitt if you sew two of them together. And the Ball Cactus would be super cute under a real flower pot! However you use them, they are sure to brighten up your table.
Farmhouse Washcloth Crochet Pattern
This farmhouse washcloth is nice and big, but you can customize them to any size by decreasing or adding rounds. My crochet dishcloth is about 9 x 9-inches square. Pair a super easy stitch pattern with a gorgeous cotton yarn colors and you have a winning crochet pattern that is perfect for even a beginner crocheter. Yet, gorgeous enough for an experienced crocheter. In just eight rounds, you can have a large farmhouse washcloth ready to use or gift! It takes me less than an hour to make each one and that includes weaving in the yarn ends.
Angled Scrubby Washcloth Pattern
This washcloth is the best of form and function. It's pretty and interesting to look at, and it scrubs with the best of them. With two sizes to choose from you can make some for washing dishes, and some for washing you!
Farmhouse Heart Towel Topper
This Farmhouse Country Heart Towel Topper is full of rustic charm - perfect as gifts or to decorate your own home at Valentine's Day or any time of the year! Made from two heart panels that are worked from the bottom up in easy single crochet with a plastic ring crocheted into the back panel. This creates an inside hidden loop to hang your towel for easy removal! Makes for easy washing and drying! Works up quickly so perfect for craft bazaars or to make up for gifts. A great two-for-one pattern as one heart panel made in cotton yarn makes great potholders or dishcloths as well.
