Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on December 26th, 2011 by Rachel Choi – 3 Comments
There’s a new pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! This hot pad pattern is created to match the Kaleido Coasters pattern (also available in the store). The hot pad is made with 2 layers to create an extra thick material to place hot bowls and plates on. The top layer is a fun decorative pattern, while the back layer is solid and simple. The hot pad is also flexible enough so that is can be used as a potholder to remove hot dishes from the oven. It is suggested to use 100% cotton yarn, as other yarns such as acrylics may melt when exposed to high temperatures.
