Is C2C good enough for Potholders?

You know that I am a big fan of kitchen decor and I like crocheting potholders that are actually useful in the kitchen.

I really won’t make anything that has gaps and holes in it.

However, as you know, corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet can be quite loose and have some gaps in between the blocks.

So, where’s the deal? Is this just a decorating potholder? Well, no, it’s not!

To make sure that this potholder would be nice and compact, I used a couple of tricks:

  • I used the mini C2C stitch instead of the regular C2C. This means that each block is worked with half double crochet stitches instead of double crochet.
  • To make sure that the potholder won’t have any holes or gaps between the mini-C2C blocks, I only used a ch-1 before each set of half double crochets.
  • Go down in hook size! If you see that your stitches are too loose, just try a smaller hook.
