You are so welcome!

Awww. Thank you. I love this pattern.

You are very welcome.

You’re welcome! I love this pattern.

Awww. Thank you so much!!!

Me too

I’d rather be safe than sorry. We use cast iron pans to cook. They get extremely hot. I can take one out of the oven and place it right on my cotton potholder. If I was just putting a serving bowl on the table without it being hot, then acrylic would be fine. I just don’t chance it with cast iron.

This is good to know , I think just lifting a pan it’d be fine

I have also used acrylic yarn. If something is super hot, it may look a little melted, but never has it caught on fire. This is my favorite pattern that I have used. I am called the potholder lady as I give away potholders to people I meet on my travels around the US. At this time, after over 10 years, I have probably made over a thousand. Thanks for your video.

Mine has never caught fire. If the pan is so very hot, it may look melted, but the counter isn't burned. I use Red Heart yarn​@pem585

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

I was taught 50 years ago by my mom. Then I was taught in 4-H when I was 8 years old. I proceeded to teach it in 4-H another 20 years. I taught it exactly as the 4-H books showed. But I know there are endless ways to crochet. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like she doesn’t yarn over, she yarns under. Her stitches are tight and pretty

Everyone back in the day crocheted under. It’s easier for me. Still get the same look. Different generation. 😊

​@@sundancegurltighter stitch, actually

I learned in mid 70's with yarn over

Awwww. Thank you so much!

Awww. You’re so welcome. I love making these. And counting can be really difficult at first.

Nope. That’s how it was taught in the past. You just need to keep it the same.

Great idea. I’ll see what I can come up with. It needs to be a tight stitch.

I’m never seen one as a casserole dish but it seems like you’d simply chain more. That’s what determines the size.

Thank you for answering my question. I will try that.

Absolutely! Just make more chains at the start.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. You had a chain of 33. Then you put in 3 single crochet in that 2nd from the end loop. After that it’s one per stitch until the end. Then 3 single crochet in the last stitch. From that point on it’s just one single crochet in each stitch until the rows meet and make a square. You only do the 3 stitches in the first and last stitch one time.

@@JustDoSomethingHomestead yes I watched your tutorial again and seen how you did it. Thank you so much for answering. I’ve made a couple already and love them. Thank you for sharing your pattern also.

@@TerriC-qo7nd Awwww. That’s wonderful! Thanks for letting me know.

@@JustDoSomethingHomestead so at the end of every corner you chain three ? I am only using one color . Mine is not curving I’m doing something wrong

I make free KZfaq videos on crocheting. Just go to my playlist for lots of projects and tutorials.

Other than that very first chain to get the size, you don’t chain any more. You just keep going in a circle. Don’t turn.

I need some of my crochet friends to Show me what I’m doing wrong mine is not curving . I have to keep practicing.

@@Bunwoofie you just keep crocheting in a circle. Like a sock. Both sides will start to curve up.

What size hook do you say you’re using ? My tension seems to be getting tight I am Still practicing I don’t have the hang of this yet ugh

@@Bunwoofie I use a J hook. It’s also called a 6 mm. Keep trucking along. To control the tension, loosen your grip slightly. You’ll get it in no time!

I believe it’s around 7 or 8 inches. It’s very easy to make larger.

Tried to send you a pic but didn't workOC

How far are you on it?

That is incorrect information. Acrylic yarn starts to melt at 200 degrees. At 300 it burns. They are not recommended for potholders. Instead choose cotton or wool.
