Circular potholders are great because they can double as place mats. Dayna’s project uses tapestry crochet technique to achieve lovely geometric pattern, but it’s not the only thing worth noticing.

13. Easy Double Thick Potholder
We want our potholders thick because only then you can be sure that they work as intended. If you can make it double thick, just like Melissa’s potholder, there’s even more chance your hands and tables will be safe from the heat. Just remember to use cotton yarn because any synthetic yarn – acrylics, for example – will melt in contact with hot objects.
