And even when the cockerel ceases to be the symbol of the year, its image on the potholder will not lose its relevance, because the rooster is a domestic bird, and this image is often used for drawings on kitchen utensils (just remember painted cutting boards and wooden spoons!). Therefore, in this material we will tell you how to make such a potholder yourself.
We knit a potholder with a cockerel with our own hands
Of course, there are several options for how to make a cockerel pot holder yourself; this accessory can be sewn, but this will take time and a large amount of material. Therefore, we offer a simpler and less expensive option - to tie a potholder. For these purposes, you will need only three components, without which the work will not work:
- Knitting threads, the density of which is 125 meters per 40 grams in four colors: brown, white, red and yellow (can be changed color scheme crafts depending on your personal preferences);
- Four black buttons;
- Crochet hook with a diameter of two and a half millimeters.
Step-by-step instructions on how to take a cockerel potholder:
Attention! IN step by step instructions The main nuances of the work are spelled out, and in order not to miss any detail, be sure to refer to the knitting pattern!
You need to continue knitting with brown threads until the 25th row, and then, according to the diagram, introduce threads into the process white to tie a cockerel collar. Thread Brown no need to interrupt, just lead her along. Using white threads, knitting potholders continues until the 45th row.
Starting from the 45th row, work will begin on the rooster's comb, which will be red. From the 59th row, the left and right parts of the bird are knitted separately. It is best to tie the outline of the scallop with half-columns: make a loop of 10 chains of air loops, which are tied with half-columns.
In exactly the same way, that is, with half-columns, you should make the edges of the potholder, mark the wings and collar.
The cockerel's legs are knitted separately, you should get two parts:
The two legs are sewn to the body separately using regular threads that match the color of the craft.
Also, the cockerel needs to be knitted with a beak and beard, but the eyes will already be made from buttons. To knit a beak, you should take yellow threads and make eight air loops, skip one loop, and from the remaining seven, knit one single crochet and one half double crochet, then two single crochets and one double crochet. Next, the three loops must be returned to the beginning of the set of loops, closed with one half double crochet. The beak is tied with single crochets.
The cockerel's beard consists of two separately connected parts. Using red threads you need to cast on 12 chain stitches, from the eighth stitch from the beginning of the cast on, knit two half double crochets, 4 double crochets and one half double crochet, finish the work with a single crochet.

Cat Paw Potholders - diagrams and explanations
You can knit interesting potholders if you study our master class. The diagram is given for a small foot, but the size can be increased if desired. The kitchen potholder Cat's Paw is crocheted from light acrylic, with the addition of brown yarn, 2 mm thick.
Start knitting
In order to knit 2 large potholders, we will need to make for each: 2 large details- paws, 1 smaller piece - a pad, and 3 small pads. Let's start with the biggest detail. It is knitted from double crochets (dc) + we knit 3 semicircles from dc and a double crochet from a double crochet. base loop threads (SBnp).
Large detail
- 1st row: first we knit a sliding loop, and 2 air loops (VP), now we knit 11 double crochets (CH) around the ring. When 11 dc are knitted, we tighten the sliding loop into the ring. We thread the hook into the base of the VP column and knit a connecting loop. 1st row is ready.
- 2nd row: knit 3 VP, and knit 2 DC into each base loop. We knit the 1st DC where the chain comes from. Next we knit 2 dc in each loop of the base of the row. We knit this way until the end of the circle (2 dc per base loop). The 2nd row is knitted, connect it using the connection. loops (SP).
- 3rd row: again 3 VP for lifting, then into the same CH loop. Next p. knit 1 dc, then knit 2 dc into the base loop. And so we knit until the end of the row: we knit in every 2nd column. 2 CH.
- 4th row: if in the third row we made an increase in every 2nd loop, then in the 4th - in every third.
- 5th row: increase in every fourth loop.
- 6th row: increase in every 5th loop.
Thus, in each row we add 12 loops. We knit this way until the circle reaches the required diameter. We knit the main part, then we make 3 semicircles according to the pattern. For one potholder you will need 2 such parts.
Small parts
How to knit small parts? All small details are knitted from RLS. We start with a sliding loop, then sc, then 2 single crochets, knitted from one. We knit according to the patterns.
Assembly
We sew 2 large parts together (1 foot), sew on the middle pad, and 3 small ones. You can tie a large paw with contrasting yarn. Sew on a loop from VP.

Despite the many master classes, I want to do something special with my own hands. Potholder Cockerel and Chicken - two bright, cheerful ones. On the eve of the Year of the Rooster, a crocheted rooster potholder and a crocheted chicken potholder will be a good gift for family and friends.

You will get that 1 cell of the pattern is equal to 1 RLS. We look at the diagram and draw according to it. In order to move to the next row, we dial 1 VP of lifting at the beginning.
We knit the cockerel with gray yarn according to the pattern. After completing the work, fold both parts of the mitten with the right sides inward, and connect both parts, tying them with sc. Next, you need to tie the top of the Cockerel with yellow yarn “crawfish step”.
We carefully design our pot mitten. We attach a loop.
This pot holder will decorate any kitchen interior. The morning in the kitchen should start with roosters.
The chicken potholder is knitted from two halves: upper and lower.
Both finished parts fold with right sides inward, you need to connect them along the outer edge of the RLS (single crochet). We tie the upper open edge of the potholder with yellow thread.
After you have finished tying, cast on 17-19 VP for the loop and make a loop. Using a CC, connect the pot holder to the loop. We have finished crocheting potholders. To make the potholder look better, you need to iron the knitted fabric through a damp cloth.
Good afternoon, dear needlewomen!
Today I decided to talk not about new ideas, but about the well-known knitted potholder.
Analyzing the blog traffic statistics, I noticed that some readers are interested in crochet chicken pot holders.
Based on this request, they go to my blog and see only how to knit and different ones, but they don’t find potholders.
I decided to fill this gap and knit such a chicken for the kitchen.
How to crochet a potholder - a chicken
We use leftover yarn. I took more or less suitable mustard-colored yarn and melange yarn in gray and white tones. For the comb, beak and beard I used red. Yarn of medium thickness, crocheted No. 2.5.
Chicken potholder body
First, we knit a regular circle with single crochet stitches.
I deviated a little from the diagram; the number of columns in the rows and the number of rows themselves are somewhat different. It depends on the thickness of the yarn and is not important. We need to see how it works out better.
In the 4th row, I knitted part of the circle with melange yarn, thus creating an imitation of a wing.
From the 4th row I knitted in reverse rows, i.e. I left the last 6 stitches of the circle of the 3rd row unknitted, turned the knitting and continued knitting the 5th row and so on. This is how the tail and breast of the chicken were formed.
In the diagram, the beginning of knitting the tail and breast is already in the second row. Moreover, at the end of the row, a loop of 3 VP is knitted, connected to the beginning of the row, then the transition is made to the third row. But such a loop seemed too small and thin to me, so I knitted a longer chain and tied it with single crochets.
In total I got 7 rows, knitted with single crochet stitches.
8th row: attach a melange-colored thread from the breast side and tie it with single crochets, then knit a wavy edge - *6 double crochets from one base loop, single crochet in the second stitch of the previous row*.
Since my yarn is thick, the edge turned out very wavy.
Chicken Potholder Head
In the last row, we attach a mustard-colored thread again from the breast side and knit the chicken’s head: 4VP, 9C3H in the first three columns of the base.
Attach red yarn to the head and knit a comb, beak and beard.
Scallop - 3VP, 5S2N, 1СБН, 6С2Н, 1СБН, 6 С2Н, 1СБН.
Beak - in the last column of the head - 2-3 columns with 2 yarn overs, knitted together.
Goatee - 5 C2H, insert the hook under the leg of the last column of the head.
I thought that the potholder would not hang beautifully on the hook; I thought that the head and wing would fall off. But this is only if she is in “free flight”. Leaning against a wall, especially one covered with wallpaper, or a closet, the chicken potholder feels quite comfortable and is not going to run away anywhere.
By the way, I also wanted to say: from my statistics it follows that people have already begun to prepare for the New Year! Interested. This is justified, time flies quickly, and there are a lot of gifts and decorations that need to be knitted and made.
So, I have already started collecting new ideas for you,
