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.
