Add some texture and warmth to your kitchen with the Afternoon Tea Pot Holder! It’s beautiful, THICK, useful, and makes a great stash buster project. This pot holder is made using the smock stitch which creates a beautiful, thick texture.

It is constructed using the magic pot holder technique to create a double thick pot holder that protects your hands, counters, and furniture.

This pot holder pattern is the second pattern for Week 5 of the Pot Holders Galore Crochet-along. With the purchase of the ebook, you will receive a total of 6 pot holder patterns (one pattern every week during the crochet-along). However, the free pattern (with ads) and video tutorial are linked below.

What Can I Use a Pot Holder For?
Pot holders are practical items that you can use in the kitchen:

• Set a scolding pot/pan/baking sheet/casserole dish on a pot holder to protect your counters and furniture.

• Use them like oven mitts when taking something out of the oven or microwave.

• Use them as a portable placemat. Place a pot holder underneath a hot bowl or plate, so you can carry your food to the table or the couch.

• Use them as a coaster for hot drinks!

YARN RECOMMENDATION: This is an incredibly thick pot holder caused by overlapping stitches. For this reason, I recommend using a thin and flexible cotton yarn that isn’t too rigid. It will make it much easier to crochet, and the finished product will have more give to it.
