Potholder Towel Combo

Posted on September 13, 2024

Here are a few potholder towel combo ideas. First is a Fall themed potholder from the Dollar Store that I added a towel to the bottom of the potholder.

The towel is folded in half and I used a needle and thread to run a baste stitch through the center for gathering. I then gathered the center of the towel to match the bottom of the potholder.

Below is a photo of the front with it pinned in several areas. You can either machine stitch the towel to the potholder or hand stitch it in place. For this project, I hand stitched the towel to the bottom edge of the potholder. I was able to hide my stitches using brown thread and pulling up under the red trim edge of the potholder. I secured the towel tightly by doing many stitches and making sure it wasn’t going to pull loose. See photos below for more details and you can click on them to supersize the photos.

Next is a Halloween potholder towel combo that I crocheted a cotton towel onto a potholder. The free crochet pattern and details can be found here.

I added a large button to the top of the potholder so you can hang it from an oven door handle or hang it up on a hook using the loop on the potholder.

These potholder towel combos are very handy as you have a potholder and a towel at your fingertips. This can be useful when pulling something out of the oven or grabbing a hot pan off the burner. It just gives you that added feature of both a potholder and a towel together!
