I came across a wonderful set of farmyard-inspired tapestry crochet potholders and have been busy as a bee crocheting away a whole range of them – they are simple but really cute.

Here are some of the ones which I have made – they make really cute sets! I always use mercerized cotton for these as it is heat resistant. These are made using either DK or 4-ply cotton and a 4 mm or 3.5 mm crochet hook – of course the 4-ply using the 3.5 mm hook results in a smaller pot holder, but it’s still a pretty decent size.

I have made some others (which are not a set – and you can see them below). I’m not very fond of the goose with the purple background – it does not seem to look as neat as the ones where the background is light.

My next post will also be more potholders – but this time, it’s my own design and they are Grand Prix-inspired 🙂

So stay tuned — and in the meantime, why not try making some of these yourself?

The original Farmhouse Potholders are designed by Raffaella of Raffamusa Designs, and the individual patterns are available free on her website:
