Crochet one front and one back and then crochet these two tog to make a pot holder.

FRONT:
Crochet 4 ch on hook size 3 mm with strong yellow and form a ring with 1 sl st in first ch.
ROUND 1: 3 ch (= 1 tr), work 11 tr in ch-ring and finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round = 12 tr.
ROUND 2: 4 ch (= 1 tr + 1 ch), * 1 tr in next tr, 1 ch *, repeat from *-* the entire round and finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round = 12 tr with 1 ch between each.
ROUND 3: 1 sl st in first ch, * 3 ch, 1 dc in next ch *, repeat from *-* the entire round and finish with 3 ch and 1 sl st in sl st from beg of round = 12 ch-loops.
ROUND 4: Fold the ch-loops towards you and work 1 ch, 1 dc in ch from 2nd round (i.e. work at the back of previous round with ch-loops), * 3 ch, 1 dc in next ch from 2nd round, repeat from *-* the entire round and finish with 3 ch and 1 sl st in first dc from beg of round = 12 ch-loops.
ROUND 5: Work sl st until the middle of first ch-loop from 4th round. 1 dc, * 4 ch, 1 dc in next ch-loop (from 4th round) *, repeat from *-* the entire round and finish with 4 ch and 1 sl st in first dc from beg of round = 12 ch-loops.
ROUND 6: 1 ch, then work as follows in every ch-loop: 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 htr, 1 tr, 1 htr, 1 ch and 1 dc. Finish with 1 sl st in ch from beg of round = 12 filled loops.
ROUND 7: Work sl st until tr at the top of first filled loop, 1 dc in tr, * 6 ch, 1 dc in tr in next filled loop *, repeat from *-* the entire round and finish with 6 ch and 1 sl st in dc from beg of round = 12 ch-loops.
ROUND 8: 1 sl st in first ch-loop, 3 ch (= 1 tr), 7 tr in the same ch-loop. Then work 8 tr in every ch-loop, finish round with 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round = 96 tr.
ROUND 9: 1 ch (= 1 dc), then work 1 dc in every tr, finish with 1 sl st in ch from beg of round = 96 dc.
ROUND 10: 5 ch (= 1 tr + 2 ch), * skip 1 dc, 1 tr in next tr, 2 ch *, repeat from *-* the entire round and finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round = 48 tr with 2 ch between each.
ROUND 11: 1 sl st in first ch-loop, 1 ch (= 1 dc), then work 2 dc in each of the next ch-loops the entire round, finish with 1 sl st in ch from beg of round = 95 dc.
ROUND 12: 1 ch (= 1 dc), 1 dc in same st, * 2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round and finish with 2 dc in next st and 1 dc in each of the last 3 dc and 1 sl st in ch from beg of round = 115 dc.
