Start by making a simple loop around the crochet hook. One way you can do this is to wrap the yarn around your index and middle finger and then pull the yarn up so that the loop locks when you tighten. Leave about 15 cm tail.

The chain

Adjust the size of the loop around your crochet hook. Now we will start crocheting on the chain, use the crochet hook and pick up the yarn with the end that comes from the yarn roll (you temporarily have 2 loops on the crochet hook) and pull through so that a loop is formed (the first loop). Do this until you have a total of six loops on your chain.

Round 1 - see video 2:14

Now start following the chain back and crochet the first round. Skip the first loop (which is holding your crochet hook) and start going down the loop that comes after. Catch the yarn and pull through (you now temporarily have 2 loops on the hook). Pick up the yarn with the needle again and pull through both loops. Repeat this three more times so that you have worked four single crochets. After this, you crochet three stitches in the same stitch (edge stitch). After this, you crochet three single stitches. In the last stitch, you crochet two stitches in the same stitch. On this round you have a total of 12 stitches.

Round 2 - see video 4:19

In the second round, you start to crochet a type of knit-stitch. This means that we will crochet in each "V" This makes the structure thicker and withstands the heat better. If you are not sure how to crochet these stitches, watch the video. These can be a bit difficult at first. From now on, all rows and stitches are crocheted in the "V"

Start by crocheting four stitches. In the two stitches after that, you crochet two stitches in the same stitch (the stitch on the edge). Then crochet four single stitches and in the last two stitches you crochet two stitches in the same stitch (increase). On this round you have a total of 16 stitches.

Round 3 - see video 9:10

Start by crocheting six stitches. In the stitch after that, crochet two stitches in the same stitch (the stitch on the edge). Then crochet seven single stitches and in the stitch after that, you crochet two stitches in the same stitch. In the last stitch, crochet one stitch. In this round, you have a total of 18 stitches.

Round 4 and forward

Now crochet a stitch in each stitch for approx. 3-4 rounds.

When you are satisfied with the height, crochet about 7 more stitches to end up on the edge of the first part.

Conclusion - see video 13:47

Cut the yarn and attach the yarn end to the inside of the first part. Attach the yarn to the inside by tying a knot around a stitch, then hide the yarn ends under adjacent stitches.

When part 1 is finished, crochet part 2 in the same way except that you do not cut the yarn.

Attach the parts - see video 14:47

Place both parts together with the loop on the right side (part 2 on top of part 1). Crochet through both parts with nine slip stitches. Go down with the crochet hook through both parts and pick up yarn, and pull everything through straight away. When you have crocheted nine pieces, you should be on the other side.

If you want to crochet a small oven mitt, continue to the next point (the loop). If you want to crochet a large oven mitt, you now start crocheting single stitches around the sides of the parts that we did not attach to each other. Go down into a stitch, get yarn and pull through. Pick up yarn again and pull through. Continue like this until you are happy with the height. You can of course continue to crochet "V" stitches if you want. When you are happy with the height, stay on the side of the mitt and go to the next point.

Now we will crochet the loop in which we can hang the pot holder. Crochet about eight loops until you are satisfied with the size of your hanging. When you are satisfied, you go down into the stitch on the edge again and make a slip stitch.

Then attach the yarn to the inside of the potholder.
