If you love the look of knitting, but prefer to crochet, then you’ll love the Mystic Trail Potholder. This potholder uses the half double crochet in the third loop only technique to create a knit-like texture.

It is crocheted in the round in one piece, which means that it is double thick, and there is no sewing involved.

This potholder pattern is part of the 2024 Potholders Galore Crochet-along, and with the purchase of an ebook, you will receive a total of 13 potholder patterns (one pattern every two weeks during the crochet-along).

If you’d like to be notified when new potholder patterns are released in the crochet-along, you can join the 2024 Crochet Along Email List HERE.
