Adorable! Please tell me how you got it to 9 petals instead of 7.

a crochet buddy of mine sent me one of these as a gift and the pattern I found on cpc was close but with the fewer petals. Basically you add a few more DC's to the original circle. 18 rather than 13dc's and that gives you more of the starting loops for the petals

I will try to make one this weekend, thanks for the inspiration

Very nice!

I'm imagining it done up like a poinsettia...red leaves with a yellow center.

Thank you for the link! I'm definitely hanging onto this one!

Great looking hotpads.... thanks for posting the link for the pattern... Guess I'll have to look into some Christmas colors in cotton... yours are super! GBU!:)

[contrary.crocheter]

thank you everyone! I am also working on some in fall colors...I really love this pattern!

[RaggedyAnn]

Very nice. I love these. Saw the pattern a while ago & printed it so I wouldn't forget to make some for gifts this year. I just need to find the right colors of cotton. What I have doesn't really match. Not much around me except WalMart. Next to nothing there anymore. Shopping trip!

There's a couple Joann's, both about 25 miles from me as well as a Michael's & AC Moore about the same distance. None of them in a direction I'm usually going of course. No Hobby Lobby or Ben Franklin that I know of are nearby.

thanks Dawn! I always forget that HL has the online store in the form of Crafts etc! I have 3 Hobby Lobby's within an easy distance so I have never ordered from there, but have heard they are great!

Thanks for the link Dawn. I'll have to check it out.

Thanks for the great idea! I waited until I had all three colors done to post a picture. I am sending these to a friend who was very hospitable on a recent visit to her home. I think they will look great on her Christmas table.

:)I love the way your hotpads turned out... Looks like a flower for sure.... I just made one using that same pattern, but with 8 points instead of the 7 it calls for.... Did you have problems with yours?.... I couldn't seem to get the 7 point one to work.... I also did 2 rows of each row called for instead of the 1.... I notice you have 9 points, I'll try that one too.... I also used RH yarn since I didn't have any cotton.... Thanks so much for sharing your hotpads... GBU!

Just beautiful Football Mom! They will look great on your friend's Christmas table and I'm sure she is just gonna love them!

[Gran]

How very cheery! They look like centerpieces.

[ZoeZoesmom]

Wow! They would make fantastic gifts! Thank you so much for the link, I will go through my cotton tonight and get busy this weekend!

Very nice! I had recently found the CPC pattern and made one (red & white stripes), thanks for the idea of adding petals

I have some going in Bernat Holiday Twists and I think they are cute but yours are fantastic. Now that I see them I may have to make a few more in solids.

 

TFS and taking the time for a photo-

Very nice. In a plastic bag somewhere in this house are several chunks of cotton yarn that were in a “discontinued” bin on a day when I obviously had just too much money in my pocket, and thus my self-control rendered useless, that I bought for just such an occasion.
