The Rustic Christmas Tree Pot Holder is a free crochet pattern on my blog.

This festive double thick hot pad pattern is made from a square with the addition of a classic simple tree applique!

This double thick pot holder is made from a center-out square worked in a one round repeat with all double crochet stitches!

Once your square is the desired size, sew on your crochet tree appliqué, fold, seam, add a simple loop and all complete!
