Free Crocheted Pot Holder Pattern



Today, I am going to share my all time FAVORITE hot pad crochet pattern! There are a lot of hot pad patterns out there, and this is my version. I remember making these for my mom when I was in high school. Of course, the pattern has changed a little bit over time. I make this hot pad whenever I am needing some new ones. Enjoy!

Please Note: This hot pad is double layered, so you are sure not to burn your fingers!

Materials Needed:
Worsted Weight 100% acrylic yarn
Size H crochet hook

Abbreviations:
Ch: Chain
Sc: Single Crochet
Sl St: Slip Stitch
Blo: Back Loop Only

Notes:
-Gauge: 8 sts x 8 rows = 2” (5 cm) You can move up or down a crochet hook size if your gauge is not right. For this pattern, though, don't worry too much about gauge.  We aren't making this to fit somebody, so it doesn't have to be perfect.
-Finished Measurement: 8" by 8" (including the little ruffle along the edging)
-sc over your loose ends as you go along so that you won't have to weave them in later.
-For this entire pattern we are going to be working in the Back Loop Only (blo). This is optional, but it will give the hot pad its textured look.

TUTORIAL: Doll Diaper plus Pattern!

  This weekend I made diapers for my little girl's doll.  I probably made more than she needs, but it was so much fun to watch her face light up as I got each one of them finished!    I designed the pattern to fit her Bitty Baby Doll .  But, I also realize that some of you may have a different size doll....  So, I made the waistband adjustable.  It may not fit all of your dolls and stuffed animals, but this will make it more likely to. I wanted it to be a nice and tight fit so that we could fit the doll's pants over the diaper, and it worked out well!   Today I am excited to share the tutorial with you.    Here is what you will need: 1/4 yard or a fat quarter of cotton fabric.  Coordinating thread 1/2" sew in Velcro.  I have tried the stick on kind, and didn't like it.  It eventually comes off.  If you try to sew it on, it will gum up your needle and the needle...
