Gradient Glow Pot Holder

"Add a burst of color and cozy protection to your kitchen with the Gradient Glow Pot Holder! This double-thick hot pad is worked in one piece in continuous rounds—no joining. The standout feature is the special crochet knit rib stitch, which creates a dense ribbed texture that beautifully mimics knitting while delivering excellent insulation. The magic happens with self-striping or gradient yarn—the colors flow through the ribs in soft, glowing transitions, highlighting the knit-like ridges for a stunning rainbow effect (or try solids/variegated for your own vibe). It’s reversible, super durable (best in 100% cotton for heat resistance), and quick to hook up—ideal for a quick crochet win, gifts, market stalls, or upgrading your own potholders. Approximate finished size: 7” x 7” Links to complete video tutorial provided!"
