This is a basic pot holder, the way it's worked makes it easy to customize and change the size. Because of the way the corners are worked it lays doubly thick so you can be sure it won't cause any damage to whatever is underneath.

This is another kitchen item so like always please use kitchen cotton yarn. Because it's to be used for hot objects DO NOT use acrylic yarn. It is a safety hazard, plastic (a main componet in acrylic yarn) which can melt in heat and can catch fire.
