THANK YOU!!

I will have to make a few pairs of these! These would make unique bridal shower or housewarming gifts! These would even make great hostess gifts!

Would it be possible to use acrylic yarn for these? I don't have any cotton and I want to make these right now! Thank You!

 

Yes you can use acrylic yarn. I've been using the same acrylic hot pads for about 15 years with no problems. They just don't like cast iron skillets straight froma 400+ degree oven or empty pans that were on top of a red hot burner. Other than that, acrylic is fine. For frying, I use cast iron skillet handle covers made from rug yarn. I even take the skillets out of the oven with acrylic potholders, I just set them on crocheted fabric pot holders.

Nice idea! Thanks for the pattern

I just saw this for the first time. What a neat idea. Perfect for microwave plates that get hot. I plan to make a few prs of them soon. Thanks for the free pattern!

 

I do prefer to use cotton for anything that comes in contact with heat.There is a country restaurant around here similar to cracker barrel that uses crocheted & knitted potholders to set hot dishes on your table-I was surprised they were acrylic. The tops were melted & "fused together" from the hot pots being set on top of them but I could still tell they were stitched.

Carolyn,

 

Hi There,

 

Just did a pattern something like this from a library book. I am doing them for DD and DIL with 2 different sizes hotpads to put hot containers upon. But needless to say I had a bunch of sewing to do so I appreciate your pattern because I have 5 more to do and I want to do some for each of my 5 sis's.

 

Happy Crocheting,

KathyWho

I hate sewing things together too, which is what makes this pattern so quick and easy...NO Sewing!!!!!

[Monique39]

Great idea!

[Nanachar]

What a great pattern. I know I will be making some of these for Christmas presents this year. Thanks a bunch for sharing your pattern.

I LOVE THESES< im always burning my fingers, removing something from the microwave, so I took to hanging a couple pot holders nearby, but these will work much better! thank you!

[Crafty Gardener]

Thanks for sharing the pattern. I'll be making some of these with all my stash bits and pieces. They would also be cute for my grandchildren to use with their play kitchen.

[Heather414]

Cute! Great idea!

[PetraDae]

They look great!

[stitchgirl]

They are so cute and what a fabulous idea. I'm definitely making myself some of these. Thanks so much!

[TallGirl]

Those are awesome. Thanks so much for the free pattern. You are a talented lady.

[Darsa]

Gonna make some of these, along with a couple of dishcloths, for my sister's birthday coming up. I think she'll love them, since the microwave is what she uses 98% of the time

[teakaycee]

Cute idea, i've seen these sewn out of material. They are neat. Thanks for sharing your pattern I will have to try these out.

I whipped this up real quick its the small one I just did an extra round of sc around the whole peice. Made with SS because I have no cotton on hand right now. It was an easy pattern and worked up quick. I started after I posted my first post.

 

Okay minus bathroom break, and time to find a ball of yarn and hook. Oh and seperating the kids from fighting, LOL. So aprox. about twenty to twenty five min.
