Colorblock Potholder Knitting Pattern

Today, I’m sharing the Colorblock Potholder Knitting Pattern with you. This is such an easy pattern and perfect for beginners. It knits up quickly and creates colorful, double-thick potholders.

The only stitch used in this potholder knitting pattern is the knit stitch.

There’s nothing I love more than adding creative, handmade items to my home. Potholders and dishcloths are a quick and easy way to add personal touches to your kitchen.

I used two colors of Sugar and Cream cotton yarn for this pattern. Cotton yarn is an excellent choice for potholders because, unlike acrylic yarn, it won’t melt when it comes in contact with high heat.

This potholder knitting pattern is double thick, so it will keep your kitchen surfaces from heat damage.

This is a free knitting pattern, but if you’d like the pattern without the ads and extra content, you can grab it here!

Switch to sewing with the matching color when you reach the other color.

Sew all the way around, attaching the end of the loop when you reach that point.

You can choose any combination of colors or knit the potholder using only one color if you like.
