The tapestry crochet Coffee Beans Potholder is my hot pad pattern for the month of November in the A Year of tapestry crochet Potholders collection.
If you love coffee, you’ll have to make this tapestry crochet Coffee Beans Potholder for your kitchen decor!
Or maybe you have a coffee-lover friend who will absolutely adore this coffee hot pad as a gift.
Either way, these tapestry crochet coffee beans will give you all the energy you need in the kitchen!
For this project, we will use tapestry crochet, which is great for pot holders and trivets because it results in a thick and solid fabric.
Tapestry crochet combined with Aran-weight cotton yarn will make the perfect handmade kitchen accessory that is not only cute to display next to your stove, but also safe to use with hot posts and dishes!

- The potholder is worked entirely in sc.
- If the pattern says “(A) 5”, it means that you need to sc 1 in each of the next 5 sts using color A.
- At the end of each row, ch 1 and turn.
- The initial ch 1 does NOT count as a st.
- All odd-numbered rows are crocheted on the right side. All even-numbered rows are crocheted on the wrong side.
- (…) – Repeat the instructions within brackets for the indicated number of times.
- With the exception of the border, the stitch count is always 34 sts.
