This is likely one of the simplest projects for both knitters and crocheters, making it perfect for beginners. The process is all about repeating the same pattern until you end up with a square—or even a slightly uneven one, which works just as well—for a potholder. I love using mine whenever I have a hot bowl of soup or noodles, whether I’m eating at the table or curled up on the couch with it in my lap. It’s one of those small projects that quickly becomes more useful than you might expect!
