For those who want something fancier for their cookware protection, I designed one resembling an opening flower. Maybe you have glassware and want to see the protector through the glass, or perhaps you just want a table topper. Unlike the basic cookware protector we have, this is done as a one-piece unit with two rounds of added surface overlay. This is the Fancy Crochet Cookware Protector.
Please remove this before heating your pots or pants.
Materials and Hook
Lily Sugar’n Cream, 71g / 2.5 oz, 109 meters / 120 yards
- A - Hot Orange - 1 Ball
- B - Sunshine - 1 Ball
- C - Robbin’s Egg - 1 Ball
- D - Orchid - 1 Ball
- E - Jade Mist - 1 Ball
You will use less than one ball per item but the colour Jade Mist uses the most yarn of them all.
Use 5 mm / H/8 Crochet Hook
Gauge 13 sc and 14 rows with a 5 mm (U.S. H/8) crochet hook or size needed to obtain gauge.
This pattern uses Surface Overlay techniques in two places. You can do it at the end of the project. I have provided a video below. It’s applied at the orange dotted line in the crochet diagram shown.

Surface Overlay Rounds
The surface overlay is not functional and just adds a bit more flare, visually, to the design.
With D, apply surface overlay around same colour posts of round 5. Use the video for the best results on finishing surface over.
With A, apply surfacing overlay around rnd 7.
