Dress up the kitchen for Christmas with this fun, easy to crochet Christmas potholder. A beautiful ornament adorns the center of each side of this gorgeous crochet Christmas potholder. Use it to grip a hot handle or to set on your beautifully decorated table.

//Construction: Each square begins with a 3-round flat circle in the ornament color of your choice (mine is red). The yarn is then attached to the circle to begin creating a solid granny square. Changing colors in the 1st and 2nd rounds means your ornament’s top is included in the construction rather than being added later. The 2 identical squares are joined with a simple single crochet border. An optional loop means you can store and display the potholder when it’s not in use.
