I’m pretty open-minded about crochet (and most other things, I hope).  But, whose idea was this???

 

 

I really can’t imagine paying almost $8 for this pattern and twice that for yarn to create this ‘Easter’ decor.  I really can’t.

This is NOT an April Fool Joke.  Might be better if it was!

If you find this appealing, please don’t throw any rotten tomatoes at me.  We’re all entitled to our opinions, right??

  1. I saw a show in TV a while ago where I saw that some people decorated their toilettes with animals (like this one) to make pottytraining more fun. Don’t know if it works though – but maybe that’s the reason?

  3. Sorry but rotton tomatoes would be wasted on you……maybe a rotton pumpkin would be better.

    I know everybody has an opinion but you came off a little too strong in my opinion.

    Some people like unique things such as this bunny.

  4. Stumbled across this yesterday as I was browsing the net looking at patterns….had to just shake my head. It’s what my mother would have called “tacky” (her ultimate put-down word, ha)

  5. Have to agree with you! I certainly wouldn’t be trying to sell a pattern for that!
    I guess everyone just has different tastes and that’s what makes the world go ’round!

  6. I wouldn’t put this in my bathroom, but it’s kind of cute. I’d be most afraid that the male members of a family would ruin it!!

  7. It is interesting…….. I might concider making a wall hanging for Easter, or even for a child’s room. But for the toilet….I don’t think so.
    I agree with Debbie in NC about the male members in the household. I have 3 in my household.

Christmas Tree Pot Holder Free Crochet Pattern

This free Christmas Tree Pot Holder is one of those classic holiday crochet projects that feels both decorative and useful at the same time. It has a lovely vintage handmade feel, with a tree shape worked in green crochet cotton and red detailing that gives it a festive finish. The pattern is presented as a practical kitchen project, but it also doubles as a cute seasonal decoration for anyone who likes to hang handmade pieces in the kitchen during Christmas.

What I like about this pattern is that it is not just a flat novelty shape. The design uses rows of double crochet with decreases to build the tree silhouette, and then red crochet is added to join the sections and create picot details, which helps give the finished piece a more decorative look. It also includes a covered ring at the top so it can be hung when not in use.

The materials list is refreshingly simple too. The project calls for green and red crochet cotton and a size 7 crochet hook, so it is a good stash-friendly make if you already keep cotton yarn on hand for kitchen crochet. Because it is made with cotton rather than soft acrylic, it has that more traditional pot-holder feel that suits the project well.

This would be a sweet little project to make for holiday gifting as well. I can easily see these being worked up as stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or part of a handmade Christmas kitchen set. One of the comments on the post even mentions making them for stocking stuffers, which feels like exactly the right fit for a pattern like this.

Overall, this is a charming old-school Christmas crochet pattern with plenty of handmade appeal. If you love festive kitchen décor, practical holiday crochet, or just enjoy making seasonal projects that can be used year after year, this Christmas Tree Pot Holder is a fun one to bookmark.
