Mine is made with a size "H" crochet hook and two colors of Lily Sugar 'N Cream cotton.
Chain 26. Turn and single crochet in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, which makes 25 single crochets. At the end of every row, ch 1 then turn.
From here to the end of the potholder, put hook into the back loop of the current row and the corresponding loop from the row below. Make sure you continue to have 25 sts every row. I found the last stitch to be the most difficult to make because the stitch from the previous row is a bit tight.
When the piece is of the desired length, you will put the hook in the the two loops as usual, however, you will make a slip stitch instead of a single crochet. This will finish off the top of the piece nicely. Create a hanging loop if desired by chaining 7 or 8 and attaching next to beginning chain. Chain 1, turn and single crochet into the loop. Fasten off and weave in ends.
I did some baking this weekend and this potholder was sufficiently thick to protect my hands from the heat.

These potholders are wonderful. Thanks for showing us in such great detail how to do this. I'm definitely going to try this.
p.s. love your color choice!
I wish you had a video on youtube. I was not able to find the right stitch to pick up on the second row (figure 6). I need help!
Thanks for the great pattern and the details you left are great. I think learning how to hold it and not get it upside down is very hard but after the first couple of rows it goes much easier. Thank you again.
Wow, thanks so much for this pattern. I picked it up on your post to the fave crafts. I make yoga mat covers and have a little amount left from 3 balls of S&C. I usually knit my dish cloths and so had not thought of how to get all ends hidden well. Crochet is perfect.
Really like what you have done with it and also your tea cozies.
Again thanks
I absolutely LOVE this stitch! Thank you so much for sharing. I was looking for a nice, simple stitch for a double thick fabric for potholders for my mom. She's crocheted for years but, can't read patterns but, with such a simple stitch and the great, step-by-step photos you've shared, I think most anyone with some experience with how a crocheted fabric should look, and understanding of the components of that fabric, should have no problem with this simple, lovely pattern.
I had a missionary friend give me a set of hot pads made from this stitch, and I loved them. She gave me a vague idea of how they were made and promised to sit down and show me, but never got the chance to before she went home. I have been searching for a pattern that used the stitch as she described, and this is it to a T!!! I am forever grateful for the woman who shared this with you, and you for sharing it with all of us! I love this hot pad and now can make many many more! Thanks!~~Wendy
This pattern is awesome! I've already made about 6 to give as Christmas presents and haven't lost interest in making more yet :) Thank You! I love it.
easy pattern. easy instructions. works up easily. nice and thick. LOVE IT! Am making my own and then will do some to add to housewarming baskets and bridal shower gift baskets.
I just found this pattern today and I find your instructions very easy to follow even though I am somewhat a "seasoned" crocheted. I am enjoying working on it and see several of them in my near an present future.
Thx for sharing n look forward to visiting often.
where is the link to print pattern?

Susan, I'm sorry but I dont understand your question. Hope you figured it out.
Susan, I'm sorry but I dont understand your question. Hope you figured it out.
HELP! Do you sell these? I am a hopeless clutz with a crochet hook and this pattern is perfect!
Thanks, I will make an attempt, but I'm not promising anything, I really like your work.
Sorry, I could've figure it out either. The instructions are fantastic for the first row, and the pictures were a great help. But when I started the next row I couldn't find the 'corresponding loop from the row before.' I've been crocheting for 45 years, and I'm not sure how I'm not seeing what to do, but even after trying a couple of different things I just couldn't get it to work. Hopefully I'll be able to find someone to help me get it right because I love the look of these pot holders.
Persistence is a wonderful thing. Instead of doing the full width I knocked it down to 10 stitches and just kept trying. I was SURE I was doing something wrong, because for the first 5-6 rows it looked like I just kept going back into the very first row, over and over and over. It was very strange, but I trusted the author and did it. On about the 7th row I had a different, clearly visible loop from the row before and I gratefully used it. Somehow the piece went from feeling like I was making some sort of tube and it became this marvelously thick, soft fabric. It's unusual and pretty and I am so glad it worked. :-)
So, I unraveled the successful test piece and started over. Again, I had to work on faith, because it was just a strange, squirrelly little thing for the first several rows. But once again it is working out beautifully, and I'll be knocking out many of these in the days to come.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this pattern. I am 61 years old and I had this pattern years ago but lost everything in a housefire and I couldn't remember how to do it to save my life. Thank you for bringing my favorite potholders back to me!! Little things like this mean a LOT to some of us. God Bless you! AND the lady that showed you how to do it.
stop
I love this pattern. I just have trouble keeping my edges straight. Could you share any tricks/rules to assist me. My solution is to add a border to cover the uneven edges.
This pattern is great! It feels like it is worked upside down to me (like reverse sc, sort of) but it is working and I love the thick and soft fabric that emerges after about the third row. It might also be because I normally use the 'knife' hold on my hook rather than the 'pencil' hold. I tried the 'pencil' hold and the stitch feels much more natural, even if the hook position doesn't.
Thanks for the great pictures of this really interesting and useful stitch!
