This free crochet pattern has been available on the "free patterns" page of my website for awhile, but I thought is was worth an extra mention here. :-) It's an incredibly easy and fun project, and so useful!! We literally have a draw full of these adorable pot holders in our kitchen, and they are used everytime there is cooking going on. You can also double them together but stitching two of them together, back to back, for an extra thick pot holder or trivet. My daughter makes them like crazy for us, and they make awesome gifts!

Enjoy!!
