Yes, I made another one! Made with Caron Simply Soft (100% acrylic yarn), this will be just a decoration — I won’t actually use it because I don’t want to melt it. This one’s a simple granny square backed with a square made of double crochet.
Sticking with my Cath Kidston-y colors! I love it so much!
Sorry if you think potholders are boring, and are therefore tired of my multiple potholder posts. I just think they’re so homey and quaint (in the best sense)! I might make one more out of the same colors so that I have three that match and can hang them in a group.
not your average crochet 
I’ve used acrylic yarn for potholders for years and never had one melt unless it got right into the gas flame (DUH!). I’ve taken pans out of a 400 degree oven without a problem.

Judy, the very same here. I’ve used acrylic yarn to make (and use) potholders/hot pads for many years, and have never had one melt. I do switch up and use a set of decorative cast iron trivets for a very hot item such as a cast iron pan or a wok taken from high heat, but other than that my acrylic ones have held up beautifully.
