More Crocheted Pot Holders

I've been a bit flu-y, so while resting on the lounge I've crocheted a few more pot holders:

1.2.

3.4.

5.

1. This is just single crochet, but using 3 strands (blue, green, grey). Really liked how this looked (http://chucksforchancho.com/2012/09/01/chunky-crochet-baby-blanket-tutorial/), so basically got the idea from her.
2. Just crocheted some strips. Each strip was 2 rows of Trebles/Double (depending where you're from). Then crochet a scallop edge the join them all together.
3. I thought this stitch was called 'jumping stripes', but now I can't find it!
4. This stitch (http://www.examiner.com/article/done-a-jiffy-baby-blanket-to-crochet) I really loved the subtle pattern. Just as easy, and probably just a little quicker that #1 above. Again used three strands and a larger hook.
5. The crochet lattice stitch I found here: http://www.ehow.com/how_4623513_crochet-honeycomb-lattice-stitch-pattern.html

Pot holders are a great way of testing a pattern. It doesn't take long to work up, you get to see enough of the pattern to know if you like it for a bigger project. And if your test piece it a bit too thin, you can always do a second (try another stitch of course) and stitch them together for a nice thick pot holder or pot stand.
