Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing my newest beginner crochet pattern, the Scallop Hot Pad. To make this hot pad, you will crochet two panels and sew them together to make them extra thick. The texture on them is just wonderful!
The Scallop Hot Pad is made using 100% cotton yarn in two different colors. However, this cotton hot pad would be pretty in just about every color combination out there. The possibilities are truly endless!
For the Scallop Hot Pad, I used Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton. However, you can use whatever cotton yarn you’d like. I also used a size H-8 (5.0mm) crochet hook. I highly recommend using my favorite crochet hooks, Clover Amour. You will also need a tapestry needle and a pair of scissors. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!
Scallop Hot Pad
Materials:
- (1) skein each of Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton in Pewter and Dove
- H-8 (5.0mm) crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Size:
8.5″ x 8.5″
Notes:
- To change the sizing of this hot pad, you will make an even number of chains.
- Whenever you see parenthesis, you will follow the instructions inside the parenthesis into the stitch indicated.
- When working the first round of your border, you want to make sure you have an odd number of stitches along the two sides of your hot pad.
- To create the double layer hot pad, you will make two squares and crochet them together.

I wish the youtube video wasn't marked private because I usually view the videos before I make one of your projects to make sure I'm doing it right.
