Hello everyone, in today's tutorial, we will make these crocheted pot holders in the shape of a cactus
they are part of the "cactus set"
in a previous tutorial we made the cactus-shaped coasters
and, if you like it, I can also do the tutorial
on how to make these "cactus" napkin rings
being a set, the style is similar to that of the coasters
so to make the flower and how to sew it,
or how to embroider the thorns,
look at the tutorial of the coasters, find the link in the information box
I give you 2 options
you can leave the pot holder simple, without embroidery
or you can embroider it, in this case you can do the embroidery you like best
you can make them all of the same color, or alternating different colors
if you like this basic pot holder
the pot holder is made of a single layer of crocheting
and so it is perfect
if instead you prefer a potholder embroidered like this
I suggest you add a layer of cloth behind it
and we will sew it with this kind of stitch, very simple, fast and decorative
In this way the finish will be perfect even on the reverse side
But, I feel like I'm already talking too much
so let's start the tutorial :-)
we need:
yarns to work with a 5mm crochet hook
a wool needle, a 4mm crochet hook, and scissors
optional:
light felt, needle and thread to embroider and pins
the processing is made of lines of single crochet
we start from the lower part
we weave the whole vase and its outline
then we weave the cactus
and decorate with the finishes
with the yarn chosen to make the vase
make a slip knot
weave 15 chains
weave 1 more chain
we begin to weave from the 2nd chain from the crochet
I weave in the thread behind,
you weave as you like
row1: 15sc
chain 1 and turn the work
row 2: 15sc
if, in this type of processing, you are not sure which is the first and last stitch
mark the first and last point of the line with a marker
to work more easily and without errors
chain 1 and turn the work
row 3: 1inc 13sc 1inc (17)
chain 1 and turn the work
row 4: 17sc
We continue with this type of processing
row 5: 1inc 15sc 1inc (19)
row 6: 19sc
row 7: 1inc 17sc 1inc (21)
row 8-9: 21sc
in the next row we increase 2 stitches on each side
in this side we weave 3 chains
turn the work
starting from the 2nd chain from the crochet
weave 23sc
now let's see how to build the 2 stitches at the end of the row
started from the point where you worked the last stitch
and watch the video
in this way we made 1sc with its base chain
in this way we have created the 2 additional stitches
now we weave a round of sc around to finish the vase
chian 1
1sc in the base chain of the last sc
1double dis
at the stitch before the corner, at the corner stitch, and at the stitch after the corner
now we work 1sc for each row
in the corner weave 1sc 1ch 1sc
to create the corner
continue the round with the same logic
when you arrive at the next corner
weave 1double dis
at the stitch before the corner, at the corner stitch, and at the stitch after the corner
in this corner work 1sc 1ch 1sc
also in this corner we work 1sc 1ch 1sc
1sc in each stitch
and also in the last stitch work a corner
1sc 1ch 1sc
close the round in the first sc of the round, with 1ss
chain 1 and cut the yarn
thread the thread into a wool needle and hide it through the stitches
extend the stitches to restore elasticity to the fabric
and cut
in the same way we will also hide the other threads
We begin to work the cactus
check that the vase has the straight side in front
counts 3 stitches from the beginning of the vase
this is the first
on the 3rd we begin the processing of the cactus
prepare a slip knot with the green yarn
and with the crochet hook you pull out the buttonhole
ch1
start working from the stitch where we hooked the yarn
row 1: 21sc
and in the meantime I hide the initial thread
after the 1st row, the same points must remain from the end of the vase
like on the other side
from here on we work in rows, as for the vase
ch1 and turn the work
row 2: 21sc
ch1 and turn the work
row 3: 1inc 19sc 1inc (23)
row 4: 1inc 21sc 1inc (25)
row 5-6: 25sc
row 7: 1inc 23sc 1inc (27)
row 8-12: 27sc
from here we start to decrease
ch1 and turn the work
row 13: 1dec 23sc 1dec (25)
We work like this in the rows with decreases
row14-16: 25sc
row 17: 1dec 21sc 1dec (23)
row 18-19: 23sc
row 20: 1dec 19sc 1dec (21)
row 21: 1dec 17sc 1dec (19)
chain 1 and turn the work
row 22: skip the first stitch and 1ss
ch1 and starting from next stitch work 15sc
1ss
chain 1 and turn the work
row 23: 1dec 11sc 1dec (25)
chain 1 and turn the work
row 24: skip the first stitch and 1ss
ch1 and starting from next stitch work 1dec 5sc 1dec 1ss
chain 1 and cut the yarn
and the shape of the cactus is ready
now let's see how to create these details
the outline and the embroidery
Make a slip knot with the dark green yarn
extract the crochet
choose a stitch from which to start
for example I choose the sixth
insert the crochet hook in the stitch
and hook the buttonhole on the back
and I pass it on the front
for this type of processing we have the crochet hook on the front, and the processing thread on the back
I choose a point on the next row
and hooking the thread from behind I work a chain
this is the point we make, now it is enough to repeat
there is no scheme
choose how to draw the ribs of the plant
it is sufficient to repeat the stitch we have learned
this type of stitch can also be done with needle and thread if you prefer
I suggest you keep the chains a little big, because the fabric does not curl
in this way we work all the ribs we want
we weave 1 chain for each row
for example like this
we also weave the last point
chain 1
and cut the yarn
in the same way, checking that you like the drawing
do all the other ribs
this is the result, but it's just an idea
you create the decoration as you like best
and now let's do the edge
Make a slip knot with the dark green yarn
check that the work is on the straight side
insert the crochet hook
extract the buttonhole
chain 1
starting from next stitch, work 1sc for each row
hide the thread start by working the first stitches
in the rows with more decreases, work 1sc also on ss
in the central stitch at the top
work 1sc and 10ch
or how many need to create a buttonhole, to hang the pot holder
make a ss on the sc of the base
we continue working one sc at each stitch
and hiding the wire tails
to complete the border
we finish the border with a ss
and cut the yarn
this is the result on the front and on the back
as you can see, the work is nice also on the back side, and if you want, the work can be complete like that
alternatively you can add other embroidery, flowers, etc.
for the flower scheme, how to sew it, and how to embroider the spines,
you can look at the coasters tutorial, find the link in the information box
you will see the outline of the flower, how to sew it
and I show you how to embroider the thorns, to get the best result even on the back side
so we can embroider the thorns
and create a simple decoration on the vase
if you like the idea
I embroidered with needle and thread
in a very simple way
this time on the back side
I did not pay attention to how I put the wires
because I want to cover the back side
with another fabric
I chose a light felt
I drew the outline with a pencil, and I cut it roughly
now let's see how to sew it
place the fabric on the side you prefer
and the cactus with the front side outside
fasten with pins
now carefully cut the outline with the scissors
cut the felt a little smaller of crochet work
we do this type of seam, it is very simple but decorative
cut a long thread of embroidery thread
and use a needle with the tip
make a knot
hook the thread on the wrong side of the work
embroidery is very simple
on the cactus we will use this wire that passes behind the single crochet stitches
hook the thread and let the needle out of the felt
let's move on to the next point and repeat
if possible, keep the same space between the stitches
this is the result we get
and we repeat everything around
this is the result
if as you go on, notice that the shape of the felt is not perfect,
although it is fixed with pins,
cut out again to perfect the shape
and we continue all around
let's sew the last stitch
we pass the needle on the front side
hide the thread through the stitches
and going back and forth
to fix the thread
cut the yarn
this is the final result
an excellent finish on both the back and front side
the new pot holders are ready
one more worked and the other more essential
both very beautiful and functional
they both do their job
because we used a big yarn
so even this one, which is made of only one layer of crocheting,
works perfectly and maintains its shape
when we hang it, it will keep its shape
this is certainly even bigger
and will retain its shape even better
but they both work perfectly ;-)
which one do you prefer?
I had so much fun doing these potholders
they are fast enough to do
the more we embroider them, the longer we need to do them
but these jobs we do to relax and have fun,
so let's take all the time we need
as always, I give you only ideas,
you can change the pattern as you wish,
and make the embroideries you prefer
and this technique of sewing a light felt
on the back side,
you can use it with any other pattern
I must say that this return to the classic,
the "crochet pot holders",
I'm having a lot of fun,
and if you want us to make other potholders, with other shapes,
or if you want to continue the series "cactus",
write me a comment under the video,
tell me if you liked this project,
and, as always, send me your photos,
I'm curious to see your pot holders
how will you make these potholders and what will add your imagination
as always, I thank you very much for seeing this video
if you liked give me a like, share
and subscribe to my channel
I send you a big hug, a kiss and see you next time
