The tapestry crochet Poppy Field Potholder is the second potholder that I made for the month of August for my “A Year of Potholders” collection.
The lines that draw this poppy flower field are very simple and delicate, and together with warm and earthy tones, they make a modern and cozy hot pad.
Like for all the potholders of the A Year of Potholders and Farmhouse Collection, I made this hot pad using tapestry crochet.
Tapestry crochet creates a thick and solid fabric that you can totally trust in the kitchen when handling hot pots and pans!

- 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.
