There are many options for MK strawberry potholders. A very beautiful model is obtained by using the pineapple pattern with shell trim. But such a thing is not suitable for practical use. Many holes in the fabric of the product will not protect your hands from a hot pan in the kitchen. Some craftswomen knit double openwork potholders with an insert between the sides of dense flannel fabric.


Such potholders will not only lift your spirits, but also add coziness to your home.

Other models

There are many options for creating a kitchen accessory:

  • potholders made from scraps;
  • patchwork potholders;
  • patchwork sewing (beautiful and easy for beginners).

From scraps

Patchwork potholders are sewn patches. Many craftswomen are left with unnecessary pieces of fabric after needlework. You shouldn’t throw them away, because even from useless pieces you can create a convenient potholder. The shape is chosen at the discretion of the needlewoman. The most popular are square, circle, diamond or rectangle. For sewing, we select pieces of suitable colors, cut out pieces of the desired size from them, and then sew them together. You should end up with two parts (the sides of the potholder itself).

If the fabric is thin, you can insert padding polyester inside. This way, the oven mitt will better protect your hands from hot dishes. We sew the parts together and get the finished product. You can trim the edges of the potholder with decorative tape, so it will look more creative. From the same tape we make a loop for hanging the accessory. We sew potholders of this type on a sewing machine. It can also be made by hand.

From fabric

Using a pattern for a knitted mitten, you can make the same one, only from fabric. The workpiece is transferred to the fabric, cut out and stitched. It is possible to create potholders of any shapes and colors from fabric. For the kitchen, textiles with floral motifs, checks, and designs of fruits, leaves, and even animals are most often chosen. Plain potholders covered with colored tape look interesting. It is better to choose a shade based on the features of the interior.

Anyone who picks up a hook can create an interesting product. Some knit bells, fruits or just squares. Any ideas can be realized. Handmade products are always better than purchased ones, because the soul is put into them.
