Create a Reversible Hot Pad Using Crochet Techniques

Create a reversible hot pad using the art of crochet. This project involves using a double-sided technique to make a functional and stylish kitchen accessory. By crocheting two separate pieces and then joining them together, you can achieve a hot pad that is not only practical but also visually appealing.

Choose complementary colors or patterns to make each side unique, adding a personal touch to your kitchen decor. The texture created by the crochet stitches provides a good grip, preventing slippage and ensuring safety while cooking. This project is a great way to practice your crochet skills while also creating a useful item for your home. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this double-sided hot pad is a fun and rewarding project to take on.

Crochet Pattern Notes

I used almost an entire skein for this hot pad; you may want to have extra just in case your tension is a bit looser.

The beginning chain does not count as a stitch.

I’m using a modified picot stitch in this pattern, but I will be referring to it as the picot stitch.

Modified picot stitch: sc, ch 2, sc (all in one stitch)

Dimensions: 9” in width

Abbreviations: (US terms)

• Ch = chain
• Sc = single crochet
• Hdc = half double crochet
