Learn to crochet a thick hotpad with a cute scallop edge.

This potholder pattern is simple to make and adjustable in size.

HOW TO MAKE A CROCHET HOTPAD WITH A SCALLOPED EDGE

If you are super new to crochet, you can try this super easy way hot pad. It's the kind my grandma always made.

But today I have another version that my sister taught me.

It is not quite as quick and easy, but it makes up for that in style. Doesn't the scalloped edge add so much?
One nice thing about this pattern, is that you can make a longer hot pad.

My sister made me one that is twice as long. It is perfect for cookie sheets, I don't have to get out two hot pads.

HOW TO MAKE A CROCHET POTHOLDER

I started this a while ago and just recently finished it. Because of that I didn't have pictures of the steps. I started a mini hot pad to show you the process.

I used a G hook.

To begin, chain 30.

ROW 1

Single crochet in each chain. Chain 1.

ROW 2

Single Crochet in back loop and unused loop of each foundation chain. Chain 1.

ROW 3

Single Crochet in backloop and unused loop of each stitch in 2nd row. Chain 1.

REPEAT INSTRUCTIONS FROM ROW 3

Repeat this pattern of single crochet in backloop and unused loop from previous row.

FINAL ROW

Once you have made the hot pad as big as you'd like, you will do your last row.

Single crochet in both loops and also the unused loop from the previous row.

You could be done at this point...

HOW TO ADD A SCALLOP EDGE

but I wanted to add a pretty scalloped edge.

FINISH ALL EDGES WITH SINGLE CROCHET

To do this you need to single crochet around the three remaining sides of the hot pad. (The row you just finished will already be single crocheted.)

It can get a little confusing when you go down the side, but I just did one single crochet for each row.

CREATE THE SCALLOP EDGE

Skip one stitch.

In the next stitch you will double crochet, triple crochet and double crochet all in the same stitch.

Then skip one stitch. Slip stitch in the next stitch.

Repeat all the way around the hot pad.

Fasten off and weave in ends.
