Rambler Roses Potholder Free Tapestry Crochet Pattern

The tapestry crochet Rambler Roses Potholder is part of my tapestry collection A Year of Potholders.

For this potholder, I used tapestry crochet to create a thick and solid hot pad that will make your baking extra fun and safe.

A YEAR OF POTHOLDERS

If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you know my love for crochet potholders and tapestry crochet!

So, I hope you’ll enjoy my new collection of tapestry crochet potholders for 2022!

The idea is to share a new tapestry crochet potholder every month for the entire year, and every potholder has a different theme inspired by that month.

Throughout this year (2022), I’ll be releasing all the patterns, but in the meantime, you can:

• 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.
