Was about to throw a worn out hot pad away. Made couple stitch lines down middle cut in between and now have 2 handle pads.

The crockpot potholder is a pattern I found a few yrs. ago online. It was free so I guess it's OK to share it. First cut 2 pieces of fabric in a 8-9" circle. Also cut a piece of flannel or heavy interfacing the same size. .(just to give a little thickness for heat protection) Usually this kind of potholder doesn't get used on really hot items like something from the hot oven. Layer the fabric right sides together then flannel on top. Sew all around leaving about 1 inch open for turning. Turn right side out. I use a old CD to draw a circle in the center. then make another circle 1/2" in side of that first one. Sew all around on these lines.(this makes a casing for the elastic) First sew all around the edge of holder and catch the opening in . You should have a flat round thin potholder. with 2 circles sewn inside. Now cut a small slit in 1 layer of fabric between the 2 circles with a seam ripper. Thread a 1/8" wide piece of elastic through the slit and around the casing. When your at the other end gather and tie the elastic off tight. slide the knot inside the slit. tah dah your done and it's reversible. It sounds like a lot but really is very easy and quick. I sometimes use iron batting or fleece instead of flannel. Good luck and if I can help let me know. Mary

'round lid cover ? I'm not sure I know why? Made from fabric, for storage? Sorry for this silly question...maybe I need another cup of coffee! '
Now I am curious--what is this and what is it use?
Thanks to all for replying to my question on frying pan handle.

annievee, It is a little potholder- like for a crock pot lid

lawsonmugs

It's kind of shaped like a shower cap with a brim and it sets on the knob,not the whole lid.lol.

Thank you for the detailed info. I've saved it and will have to play around with it to see if I come up with the cover as cute and practical as yours. I suppose putting Insulbrite in it would make it too stiff to hug the lid knob efficiently?

annievee

Got It--thanks everyone for the input.
Lawsonmugs--thank you, will definitely try your pattern-nice to have something new on craft table, thanks, annie

The insulbrite works fine. I found I like the potholder a little thinner. Since the lid know doesn't get real hot it works fine. Your welcome I love to share when I can.
