Native American Crochet Potholder Patterns Review
Great Summertime Crochet Projects
They are also perfect summertime crochet projects because they are small projects that won’t “cover your lap” on hot days like an afghan does.

Yarn and Hook
Easy to Learn Crochet Technique
It is very important to read page 2 of the e-Pattern. It explains how the potholders are crocheted and which loop of the stitch you will be working into. It also reminds you that you will not be turning your work for this project.
American Crochet Terms
The patterns are written out in full, in American crochet terminology. For instructions which are being repeated a certain number of times, an “X” has been used to indicate “times”. For example, if you need to repeat something 9 times the instructions will be (sc, dc) 9X. Another way of writing this (in an expanded form) would be *1 sc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the next stitch**. Rep from * to ** nine times.
The back of the potholder is the same for all 7 designs. You will find the instructions for the back of the potholder on page 3. Be sure to read the Note provided on page 3 about the width measurement for the back piece and how to adjust your work if it is not matching up exactly.
Designs Included
- Fiesta
- Mesa
- Taos
- Apache Tears
- Diamond
- Southwest Style
- Tribal Traditions

If you win the raffle and you have already purchased the booklet, Carol will be happy to substitute another crochet booklet of your choice from her designs!
Other Patterns To Try
This technique works really well for geometric designs and you can see other examples of Carol’s available patterns for Native American designs, hearts, diamonds, teddy bears, choo-choo trains, kitty cats and castles on her website.
Only simple stitches are used to make the potholders, so I feel a determined beginner would be able to make these projects. You will only need to understand where to find the front loops and back loops of your stitches, single crochet, double crochet and slip stitches. I love how easy this technique makes it to crochet mosaic designs.

Olga says
Love the detailing in these designs. I purchased the hat book. Though my hat came out extremely large it was fun to do and rather easy. I dont normally buy books but i just might with this one.
Sheri L O'Keefe says
This ebook caught my eye and after reading your review I think I am going to purchase one. I liked that you said it was basically all easy stitches. I guess looks are deceiving, because the design looks harder.
Verna says
Love the designs of these and I wish I would have seen all your reviews sooner. But I think I’d go broke if I bought every book you review. You have a knack for making great reviews.
Sheri O'Keefe says
I chose this ebook because I liked the look of the pot holders as they are neat looking. After reading your review I think I might get an ebook. I have knit and crocheted since I was a child and making things for craft fairs is something I enjoy and not to make money at so finding things that make up easily and potential to sell is what I look for.
Violet says
Love the colors & designs!
Miriam says
This book looks like it has great patterns and I really would like to learn this technique of crocheting.
Nayka says
They look pretty fun to make… But i wouldn’t be able to use as pot holders. I’d be afraid of staining them or ruining them xD
Nancy R Davis says
I just love these potholder designs. They would be awesome in my Southwest kitchen! Thanks
