Have you ever wanted to try tapestry crochet while crocheting in the round? Here’s a neat hot pad pattern to try out! Worked in 2 colors, this pattern creates a unique design. You’ll need a basic knowledge of how to change colors in crochet and how to carry the yarn in your work. For an extra thick and sturdy hot pad, make 2 of the circles and crochet them together when you’re done.

Skill Level: crochet skill level easy

Finished Size: 8″ (20.5 cm) in diameter

Materials:
Medium Weight Yarn (approximately 30 yards each of color A and color B)
Preferably 100% cotton or a natural fiber, as acrylic yarn can melt at high temperatures
Crochet Hook H (5.00 mm)
crochet yarn size 4

Gauge: Not too important for this pattern.

    Cool. This would look great in tan and chestnut.

  2. Very nice and creative Linda! It looks hot! (pun intended). It resembles the burners on the top of some stoves.

  3. Linda Cee says:

    Sarah Dee; that would look nice (hope you don’t mind if I borrow your idea).

    Delores Chamblin; LOL! Thank you, I hadn’t thought of that but now that you mention it I guess it does (we can pretend it was intentional).

    I think there might be a mistake in Round 9: (2 sc with color A in each of next 2 sc, sc with color A in next 2 sc) around: 90 sc

    Color A is listed as color of choice twice, shouldn’t one be color B? Just asking.

  5. Linda Cee says:

    Hi Doris,
    That rnd uses only one color so its A all the way around, the reason its on there twice is because you do an increase in every 3rd stitch.

    Looks real hot! Would look good in rust and brown too.

  7. Doris says:

    Thanks for the answer, that cleared up my confusion.

    Cool pattern! The picture looks kind of familiar but I can’t place it, did you make it up?
