Pot and Plate Pinchers

[carovan]

Here's a pattern I just made up for a pair of mini hot pads to keep you from burning your fingers when removing a hot plate from the microwave. The pattern can be found here: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=108845

Wow! What a great idea! Thank you for sharing.

Yes, thank you for sharing! Can't wait to make a few of these to use during the holidays!

 

I'm a little confused though (not uncommon for me lol). Do you make the pad in one piece and sew the finger slots over the center?

 

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

You are quite welcome

 

These are no-sew. You make the bottom or pad, then after you make the finger slot, you just join it by sc'ing the two pieces together.

Thank you so much for all the kind words. I found that I like the smallest size the best.
