Just an Inch of Color Potholders Free Crochet Pattern
The Just an Inch of Color Potholders Crochet Pattern is a great Scrap Busting project. It calls for the use of at least 2 different colors of #4 ply Cotton Weight Cotton.
Each color change is just an inch, that’s how it got it’s name. There are 2 sizes to choose from inside this pattern, but the sizes are easy to customize.
This design is an eco-friendly way to cut back on the use of store bought hot pads/potholders. The finished Potholders can also be used as Coasters, Mug Rugs, Hot Pads, Trivets, and can even be used as Napkins.

The hot pad crochet pattern can be customized to create the perfect size for you.

Customizing:
The Potholder/Hot Pad can be customized if you prefer a bigger or smaller size. Below is a breakdown of the amount of stitches and rows you can add or subtract for your specific size.
1” = 4 st x 3 rows
2” = 8 st x 6 rows
3” = 12 st x 9 rows
4” = 16 st x 12 rows
**Tip: Weave in your ends of yarn as you go**
When you are fastening off your ends, why not try weaving in your ends when you start the next row.
This helps keep your edges straight.
* Leave at least a 4” tail of yarn.
*When starting a new color, weave in the color you just fastened off and new color as you start crocheting your next row.
