Basic instructions doubleface crochet

The double face crochet technique is not very well known yet, but it offers the possibility to design both sides individually.

The special thing about these potholders is that you can design two completely different sides for one potholder. This technique also makes the potholders nice and thick and therefore excellent insulators. At the same time, there is no need to sew the threads - except at the end - because they are worked directly into the potholder.

These basic instructions and the accompanying video are included with all my Doubleface crochet patterns. So if you want to buy a pattern from me, you don't need these instructions. However, if you just want to try the technique, you can try it with these instructions. Only the technique is explained and shown, no pattern is included. The basic instructions include a coupon code for a 10% discount in my store for future purchases. This coupon is valid for 3 years.
