I crocheted a simple design pot holder. I used Novita's Natural Collection Cotton feel yarn (100% cotton, of which 50% is recycled) (50g = 120m). The pot holder is thin so if wanted you can use it as a duster instead.
I crocheted it just without any special design but you can find similar type from Tove Fevang's book. I wrap it with matching tea towels in a Christmas gift.
