Crochet Potholders are versatile. You have a choice to make them in any shape you wish. By using different combination and variety of Crochet Stitches, you can give them a lovely textured look. They are both decorative and functional and they also make beautiful gifts for your loved ones, be it any occasion. You can color code them and make them according to the holiday season. Today am sharing the pattern for this super easy and quick to make Crochet Square Placemat Potholder. These work up really quickly. I have used Cobble Stone Stitch. This is an awesome stitch pattern which gives a lovely texture. This pattern is a repeat of only 2 rows throughout which is made by alternating each row. The Border is made up with Puff Stitches. These pot holders would look nice with both variegated and solid colors. These pretty potholders are the perfect beginner pattern for a quick and fun project to show off your crochet skills. Materials Used:- 4 Ply Cotton Knitting Yarn 4 mm Crochet Hook

Why? Well, it works up very quickly and it's not complicated at all. Thus, here is a classic granny in a slightly new form, where the white rows give it a more calm and integrated look. All the color rows, however, allow you to use up any stashed yarn you have.

To begin with, this square baby blanket is super versatile. Since you can make it in any yarn weight, you can really vary up the look and texture. Moreover, if you use an ombre or gradient yarn, you will give it gentle, blended color transitions. In turn, these will greatly complement the crisply delineated textures.

Of course, this next popcorn heart blanket is as sweet as a small baby… almost (it's obvious that nothing can compare to those small hands, feets and uncontrolled grins of a tiny face :). So, let's say a rainbow bobble heart is the next sweetest thing!

If you're like me and my kiddos, you might use a lot of emojis in your test messages. I was scrolling through the various emoji images a few weeks ago and it occurred to me that the animal faces would make perfect corner to corner (c2c) squares! These square graphs are the perfect size for baby loveys, pillow covers (although I'd recommend going down a hook size to an H/5mm), one square of a larger blanket, one side of a tote bag, or as wall art (just add a dowel rod and hang it up!).
