Modern Crochet Trivet Hot Pad Free Pattern
“This quick to make crochet hot pad uses large cotton rope for a super quick make and rustic texture. I love an easy pattern and this one really is simple. Since I was using such a large hook and rope together I wanted a stitch pattern that would leave stitches a little easier to work into. So I decided on the beginner friendly single crochet Moss or Linen Stitch. By working a single crochet into chain spaces it made this much easier to work with.”

Buffalo Check Potholders – Free Crochet Pattern
(1) CH1s at the beginning of rounds do not count as a stitch in the final stitch count.
(2) This is an intermediate level pattern because it involves a lot of color changes and carrying yarn. I go through the first round very thoroughly with lots of photos, and then basically set you free with a color chart after that. If you can crochet the first round and it’s all making sense to you, you’ll be just fine to complete the pattern!
(3) Pattern is worked in joined, unturned rounds around a base chain and seamed closed at the end, resulting in a sturdy, double-thickness potholder.
