Crochet Chicken Potholder Pattern Tips and Tricks
Choosing The Yarn
When you are making a chicken pot holder, the best option for your yarn is going to be a durable cotton yarn. It is extremely important that you use 100% cotton yarn for this project so that the yarn does not melt when it is exposed to the hot temperatures. You can find good 100% cotton yard at Hobby lobby, or in the craft section at Walmart, or your local craft store.
Adding A Hanging Loop
Before you finish off your crocheted chicken pot holder, you might enjoy adding a hanging loop to it. This way when you are not using it on hot pots, you can hang it up so that it is out of the way. The easiest way to add a hanging loop is simply to make a chain, then use your slip stitch to join the chain back to your hot pad, making a hanging loop.
