Tortilla Warmer & Potholder

Let’s talk about the yarn you’ll need for this pattern, because it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! Since this pattern is intended to be used for hot items, you need to use yarn that is 100% cotton. No acrylic, polyester, or any other synthetic or animal-derived yarn will work. Cotton won’t melt, which is important when using this Tortilla Warmer as a potholder. Also, please use at least a medium-sized cotton yarn. A thin fingering yarn will not work, it’ll be too thin and you could burn yourself if using this as a potholder.

Another important note, when using this as a potholder, use the potholder folded in half (not as a glove/oven mitt) to ensure you have enough fabric between your hand and the hot item. Please use caution when handling hot items. OK, that was my PSA, let’s get to crocheting!
