Or Use Store-Bought Crocheted Lace!

Pretty patchwork potholders are given a lovely finishing touch with crocheted lace edging. They have a charming vintage feel that will be great in most kitchens.

If you like to crochet you’ll have fun with this project. Make one or several to use and to give.

Crochet Edging Tutorial - 6" Round Pot Holders

Those who don’t crochet can achieve a similar look using store-bought crocheted lace. Stitch the lace into the seam made before turning the pot holders. You may want to tack the ends of the lace together with a few hand stitches.

Choose a pretty combination from your stash of 2 1/2″ squares for the patchwork and a favorite print for the back. Use a 6″ circle, such as a small plate, as a template for cutting the quilted layers into a circle. Silver Ironing Board Fabric is used for heat-proofing.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article).
