Crochet Hot Pad Pattern for a Kitchen That Feels Like Yours

My old hot pads were stained and a little thin, and I finally got tired of looking at them every time I cooked. So I made new ones. This is a crochet hot pad pattern that uses two strands of yarn held together and my favorite V stitch, so it comes out thick and works up fast.

Quick answer: This hot pad is crocheted in the round using two strands of yarn held together and a simple V stitch (double crochet, chain 1, double crochet). It finishes at about 9 inches across, and most people finish one in under an hour.

If you are using the same tired hot pads in your kitchen and want something with a bit more personality, this one is for you.

It’s a great pattern because:

It is genuinely easy to make, and I used my favorite V stitches to give it a little extra texture. It is also a great stash buster, so leftover yarn is welcome here.

I hold two strands together, which makes it thick and sturdy. You can mix two different yarns for your own custom look if you want. It works up quickly too, which makes it good for last minute gifts, craft markets, or just giving your kitchen a small refresh in an evening.
