Crochet Hot Pads

My latest free crochet pattern is an easy crochet round hot pad. So if you’re in need of a new hot pad or want to make something for your kitchen, this is the perfect pattern for you!

It’s a beginner-friendly pattern and includes a helpful video tutorial. Furthermore, this crochet hot pad pattern is made in the round using the spiral technique. It’s a really simple crochet technique that uses only single crochet stitches (No slip stitching is involved when making this flat crochet circle).

Once you have the first couple of rows down, you’ll fly through this pattern. So I hope you enjoy making it and I would love to know your thoughts in the comment section on this easy crochet pattern.

Crochet hot pads for any kitchen!

One thing that I love most about these easy crochet hot pads is that there perfect for any kitchen. Whether you have a modern kitchen or a farmhouse-style kitchen, these hot pads would fit right in. With its simple construction and textured look, they would look good in any space.

I’ve also added a loop to these hot pads, so you can easily hang them up in the kitchen. But you can also omit the loop and keep them in your kitchen drawer.

A perfect house-warming gift or make them for markets!

Hot pads, coasters, or washcloths make great crochet housewarming gifts! They work up quickly and giving homemade gifts is just the best. I always love the reaction when they find out that it’s made by hand. How about you?

You can even add a couple of things to your homemade gift like a cookbook, measuring spoons, tea bags, or dishcloths. I like to add these things to a big basket and then I wrap it with some cellophane and add a bow. It makes the cutest gift!

Another good idea for these crochet trivets is to make them for markets. You can make a whole bunch in different colors and sells them in pairs. Maybe add some twine and a little handmade gift tag.

The Yarn You’ll Use for This Crochet Hot Pad

I chose to work with Ganxxet double-thick Cotton Air yarn line. It’s a number 5 bulky braided yarn that’s made from cotton. Some of my favorite colors in this yarn line are natural, charcoal, beige, and cherry blossom.

This yarn is pretty neat because the fiber is not dyed. It’s actually made from old garments that get broken down and then it’s spun back into thin fibers. So it actually helps eliminate garment waste from landfills. Pretty neat right?

I highly recommend this yarn for this project, but if you can’t get a hold of this yarn, I would recommend going with a worsted weight cotton yarn. Just make sure you double the strands to create a thick yarn. I really like using Lion Brand 24/7 cotton yarn or WeCrochet Dishie yarn for crochet home-decor patterns.

Cotton yarn is the best for these crochet round hot pads!

I highly recommend using cotton yarn for these crochet hot pads. Since these will be used to put something hot on, you definitely want to use natural fiber. Cotton yarn is the best option in my option. Acrylic yarn can actually melt when something hot is put on it, so cotton is the way to go.

Plus, cotton yarn performs better if you spill something on it. Easier clean-up!
