Here is a quick and easy pattern for some mini hot pads to use on those plates or bowls that are too hot to remove from the microwave. A pair can be made in about an hour or less. :)

I just KNEW somebody could come up with an alternative to those expensive silicone ones in the stores. Thanks! :)

What a great idea, Carolyn! I'm going to whip up some of those for my own kitchen but they make great hostess gifts as well. Thanks for the pattern.

I've already begun my first pair as a gift, and I love them! I'm using an F hook because I like tight sc sts with cotton, so I'm doing the large size, and it's just perfect.

 

I decided on yellow for the tops and Gum Drop variegated (nearly rainbow colors) for the bottoms and edging. They are sooooo adorable!

 

I know all my sisters and friends are going to want some.
