How do I crochet a functional potholder?

Question by Corinne B: How do I crochet a functional potholder?
I would like to crochet a pot holder. I found a nice pattern that is a basic circle. The thing is that I would like the potholder to be functional. Is that possible to make a crocheted potholder that is actually useful, rather than just to look nice? Is it dependent on what kind of yarn I use?

Use Bernat Handicrafter Cotton or like yarn. It will stand up to the heat and they have a wise array of colors to suit your taste.
