Vintage crochet potholders make delicate kitchen decorations when using the Vintage Pink Floral Potholders pattern. The six crochet kitchen potholders in this pattern give you plenty of choices and color options. It is suggested that the potholders be lined with cotton quilt batting if you want to use them in your kitchen to protect your hands from burns.
This crochet pattern set includes instructions for the following designs:
Pink & White Dress - About 7" wide and 6" long.
Flower Appliquéd Square - About 7½" square.
Antique Rose - About 6½" diameter.
Pink Poppy - About 6" diameter.
Garden Rose - About 7" diameter.
Pleated Dress - About 9" wide and 7½" long.
More About This Crochet Pattern
This crochet pattern will make beautiful potholders but first, a word to the wise. If you want to use the finished vintage potholder in the kitchen, I suggest lining them with either a store bought potholder or layers of cotton quilt batting. Another idea is to place hot cookware on the backside of your potholder to protect the front from scorch marks. I have seen a few old potholders with a cotton backing added to them showing signs of scorching. The front of the potholder is like new but the back shows all the wear and tear from use.
