Crochet Hot Pad Patter

1 - Chain 42

2 - Single crochet in each chain stitch

3 - When you get to the end, continue around and single crochet in each stitch of the unused side of the chain

4 - Continue as if you are crocheting in the round, with a single crochet in each single crochet.

5 - Your hotpad will first look like a strip, then it will slowly turn into a boat shape, then "pockets" will begin to form. Once the two sides of the potholder are touching, it's time to finish it off.

6 - Cut off the yarn leaving a 12-15 inch tail. Fasten off the end of your last crochet stitch with a small knot.

7 - With a large eye needle, sew the two flaps together.

8 - Weave the yarn through a few additional stitches to prevent unraveling and clip off excess.
