Here’s a fun and practical crochet project you’ll love – a chunky square potholder using thick cotton yarn and the griddle stitch! If you’ve never tried the griddle stitch before, it’s super simple – you just alternate single and double crochets for a lovely textured look. It works up quickly, especially with bulky yarn. The result is a thick, sturdy potholder that’s perfect for protecting your hands and surfaces. These make cute, useful gifts and are always a hit at craft fairs. Best of all, this is a great stash-busting project, and you can finish one in no time. Follow the free pattern and photo tutorial on the blog to get started!
