Throw Back Thursday My Grandma's Hot Pad Pattern

Thought this would be a good pattern to share again on throw back Thursday. I can remember my grandmother making these for everyone and when she taught me to crochet this is one of the patterns she taught me to make. I still make them for family and friends. Hope you will give it a try. If you do leave a comment and a picture of what you make. If you have any questions leave them in the comment section and I will try to answer them. If you like this blog please follow me.

Crocheted Hot Pad Pattern

This pattern is my own. My grandmother taught me how to do this by using a washcloth and folding it then crocheting around but I changed to make the cloth too because it is a thicker hot pad then. Hope it isn’t confusing they way I explain it.


With 100% cotton and a G hook
Row 1 with cotton and G hook ch 47. hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn
Row 2 ch1 hdc in each hdc across turn
Row 3 – 40 repeat row 2 At end of last row fasten off
You may have more or fewer rows depending on how tight you crochet. What you want is a rectangle

Now comes the folding. Take the cloth just made and fold in half. Pin to help hold in place to keep it from slipping when you start to crochet the border.
Starting at the top left corner
attach 100% cotton ch 3 do 2 dc in same space ch 2 skip one space dc in next sp ch 2 skip one space 3dc in next space ch 2 skip a space and in next space dc. Continue around in this pattern.
Go down the left side across the bottom and up the right side


Shown in this picture

Now take and fold to meet the top left corner to the meet with top right corner in the middle pictured below.


Pin to hold and then slip stitch right corner to left.
Now pin the sides and they will be squares on each side like the picture below


This will be square on both sides when you pin them.
Ch 2 and continue pattern where you left off across one side and top opening, down the side and across the bottom up the other side and across the top opening. Now all sides should be worked and you are back to the top. Slip stitch to the stitch on the other side across from last stitch made. Ch 10 sl st to form a ring and this is your hanger.
