This is a Thermal (Half Double Crochet Stitch) Potholder. This Thermal Stitch is a variation of the stitch I used in my Extra Thick Potholder. It's also a Half Double Crochet Thermal but with a slight change which creates a different texture. You can see the lines between the rows are more prominent whereas the Extra Thick Potholder does not have them. Free written pattern and a video demonstration on how to crochet this stich is available on my website.

TagsCrochet Thick Potholder
The Thermal Stitch is by far the best stitch (that I know of) you can use to crochet a thick potholder. It's quite dense and thick - it's basically double the thickness of a normal single crochet. It's perfect for a potholder or anything that needs that extra thickness. When trying this stitch for the first time, the trickiest part is to find the right stitch that you need to crochet into. The whole pattern consists of Thermal Single Crochets (single crochets that are worked into the back loops of current and previous rows together). That's what creates the thickness.
Thermal Stitch Dish Scrubbies
These scrubbies are made using the thermal stitch and I love the results it makes. These dish scrubbies were made using the thermal stitch. There are two versions of the scrubbies. There is one pattern with a bumpy texture on one side and I did one with a bumpy texture on both sides. IF you are new to the thermal stitch, the blog post does link to a YouTube tutorial on how to do this stitch.

Plastic Bag Holder - Free Crochet Pattern
Recently we made a move into a new house, as we were unpacking I began to collect a large pile of plastic grocery bags. I generally use this bags pretty often so I didn’t want to throw them away. That’s when I realized I didn’t have a bag holder to put them in. Moving can be pretty expensive so the last thing I wanted to do was purchase one knowing full well I could make one myself, so I did!
You can easily make this bag as long as you want to fit more grocery bags, my family is pretty small so I made a smaller bag holder. If you want a larger one just work more rounds in-between the increases/decreases.
I always recommend using cotton yarn when working an anything household related. For this pattern I used Peaches and Cream’s Cotton yarn which you can find HERE. They have so many colors to choose from!
