Pot holders are for setting pans on or to pick pans up so that you don't burn your hands or fingers. They can be made out of yarn or material. Crocheted, knitted, sewn, quilted, etc. They usually have loop or attachment so you can hang them hooks so they can be handy in case you need to grab something off the stove or from the oven. They can be just about any shape....most often square or circular.
