Crochet Patterns For Vintage Pink Floral Potholders

Celebrate a friend's move into a new house with crochet patterns to make beautiful potholders. A potholder crocheted in their kitchen colors would make a very thoughtful gift. These vintage potholders are more for collecting than actual use. They can be used as hot mats, but they are not recommended for potholders.
Create these potholders with any arrangement of crochet cotton colors for family and friends. They make great gifts.

This crochet pattern will make beautiful potholders but first, a word to the wise.  If you want to use the finished vintage potholder in the kitchen, I suggest lining them with either a store bought potholder or layers of cotton quilt batting. Another idea is to place hot cookware on the backside of your potholder to protect the front from scorch marks. I have seen a few old potholders with a cotton backing added to them showing signs of scorching. The front of the potholder is like new but the back shows all the wear and tear from use.
