Easy Hot Pads to Work Up on Hot Summer Days

Hot pads, pot holders, whatever you want to call them are super simple to make and this is a super easy project! Great hostess gifts to take to take to your next cookout! 
Use 3 colors of 100% cotton yarn, I use Sugar 'n Cream (acrylics will melt, not good!), size K crochet hook.

Pattern:
With 3 strands held together, chain 17.
Row 1: Single crochet in second chain from hook and in each chain across (16 sc). Chain 1, turn.
Row 2: Single crochet in each sc across. Chain 1, turn. Repeat Row 2 till square, 16 rows. 
Finish: Chain 8 (for loop) slip stitch in end stitch. Tie off and work in ends.
Have fun with the colors! The variegated work up pretty also, so don't be scared to try! ENJOY!

Hot New Look!

Woo Hoo! Thank you Jessica! I love the new blog design! You are amazing! 
Hello everyone! It's been soooo long since I posted anything, and do you know why? Because I didn't like the look of my blog and I didn't want anyone to see it! But, no more! The niece of a very dear friend of mine worked her magic and now I have a blog to be proud of! Check her out for a great, professional blog!  http://www.diamonddolldesign.com/
