Picture of Pattern Book Cover - Tipnut.comDo you love kitschy kitchen items? Retro kitchen accessories? Then you’ll love this crochet pattern for potholders, I believe it’s from the 1940s (1944). They were very creative with crochet designs back in the day ;).

At first I thought it was a potholder set depicting a sugar bowl and creamer, but I’m leaning more now toward a teapot and a sugar bowl? Not sure, but it’s quite a charming set that has a very retro feel to it. The teapot (or creamer) has a clock face and the sugar bowl has a cartoon expression.

Sugar & Creamer PotholdersYou can download the full pattern here (pdf): Crochet Potholders Pattern.

The printout text for the pattern may be a bit too small for some of you to read, you can adjust this by zooming in on the pdf or scanning a larger copy for yourself. I did the best I could with the print quality and I’m able to read it myself, but I can see the text size & clarity being a problem for some.

The recipe on the pattern page is the following:

Parsley Puffs

1 bunch of parsley
1 egg
2 tsp flour
1 TBS water
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

  • Wash parsley and break into small sprigs and put in ice water to crisp. Separate egg; to the beaten yolk, add flour, water, and seasonings, and beat until thoroughly mixed. Then fold in egg whites beaten stiff. Dip the parsley sprigs into this batter and fry in deep fat at 390°F until golden brown. Drain and serve hot. This is a tempting garnish for meats.

This vintage crochet pattern came from the book “STAR Pot Holders”, Book No. 32, American Thread Company. It’s filled 30 “Perky” potholder patterns, I’ll be sharing more here on Tipnut if you like.
