Caring for Your Crochet Casserole Carrier

• Wash with mild detergent and cold water to preserve yarn strength.
• Lay flat to dry to avoid stretching.
• Avoid excessive heat exposure if using synthetic yarns.
• Check the stitches periodically for wear and repair as needed.

100% cotton yarn is ideal due to its heat resistance and durability. Use thermal stitch patterns, double-layered yarn, or insulated fabric lining. Reinforce them by using tight stitches (SC or HDC) and adding extra rows.
