If you’ve been searching for the best stitch for potholders, look no further – the thermal stitch is the ultimate choice! This free double-thick crochet potholder pattern from My Crochet Space shows you how to use thermal half double crochet stitches to create a dense, durable fabric that’s perfect for protecting hands and surfaces from heat. Unlike making two squares and sewing them together, this clever technique builds both layers at once, giving your potholder a seamless, sturdy finish. The result is a beautiful, textured fabric with a professional look and feel.
The pattern works best with 100% cotton yarn (medium worsted or DK), making it safe and long-lasting for kitchen use. At 8″ x 6.5″, it’s just the right size, and with the step-by-step written instructions, photos, and video tutorial, you’ll be able to follow along with ease – even if you’re new to thermal stitches.
