My Dishcloth & Hotpads!

[yogachic]

Two hotpads. I love these hotpads. :manyheartThe smaller one is the size the pattern calls for, the bigger hotpad is when i made it a bit bigger. I showed my mother them, and she says I can make her some, but she wants them made bigger yet.

Here's the link of the free pattern I used.

Secondly, is the Dish Cloth I made using a free pattern. I don't think the photo does this dish cloth justice. I think it is just beautiful! I think I found this pattern on Ravelry.

Great looking!! I agree with Mom she must have gotten burned too like me from too small of hotpad holders!!

Very nice! Now you'll be making them for your whole family!

 

Those hotpads are my favorite, too!

I made some out of the Sugar-n-Cream twists in off-white and green, using a stitch pattern that was a dc, sc, dc, sc, etc - and then the next row put the dc on top of the sc and the sc on top of the dc - just alternating like that. I made mine a little larger, too. The pattern seems small, doesn't it?

 

They turned out so well! I just love them, and it makes me feel good to use them! When I got my new dishtowels and hotpads in the kitchen drawer, I called the kids in to see how pretty they looked in the drawer! They just rolled their eyes at me and walked away. Yes, mom is nuts.

Very nice. I think hotpads are my favorite thing to crochet and I really like that Mielke's farm pattern, it's one of my faves. Great work.

Ooh that sounds, very pretty! :cheerI wish I had a drawer to put mine in. My dishtowels hang in a bag on a kitchen chair, because I need new kitchen cabinets, my only drawer is for my silverware and utensils, plus I have a small kitchen with not many cabinets, the other drawer broke out. Nice huh.

For the larger pad I chained 32. If I make more for my mother I will chain about 38.

Angel, the length of your starting chain is going to be the approximate diagonal size of your square. HTH
