The Hot Pad is composed of two parts, that are joined together with the border row. Both parts are crocheted with two strands of yarn together, the first one with red and white and the second one with red and pink.

Front

Start with 4 ch, join with sl st in first ch

1. *2 dc in lp, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * times, join with sl st to first st.

2. sl st in next sp, *(2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc)=dc corner in next sp, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

3. *dc corner in dc corner, 2 ch, 2 dc in next sp, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

4.*3 sc in dc corner lp (=sc corner), (sc in next dc) twice, 2 sc in next sp, (sc in next dc) twice, 2 sc in next sp*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

5.*dc corner in central sc of sc corner, 2 ch, sk sc, (dc on next sc)twice, [2 ch, sk 2 sc, (dc on next sc)twice]twice, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

6. *dc corner in dc corner, [2 ch, 2 dc in next sp]4 times, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

7.*sc corner in dc corner sp, sc in ea dc, 2 sc in ea lp along all side*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

8.*dc corner in central sc of sc corner, [ (dc on next sc)twice, 2 ch, sk 2 sc]6 times, (dc in next sc)twice*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

9.sc all around the square, crocheting 2 sc in ea 2-ch sp on sides and crocheting 3 sc in corners sp. Cut thread, weave in ends.

Back

Start with 4 ch, join with sl st in first ch

1. *2 dc in lp, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * times, join with sl st to first st.

2. sl st in next sp, *(2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc)=dc corner in next sp, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

3. *dc corner in dc corner, (dc on next dc) twice, 2 dc in next sp, (dc on next dc )twice*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

7.*dc corner in dc corner, (dc on next dc) 22 times*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

8.sc all around the square, crocheting 3 sc in corners sp. Cut thread, weave in ends

Joining Edge

Join front and back pieces together, with back sides adjacents, following the center loops as a indication; fix them with a couple of pins. If you prefer, put a batting fabric between the scquares. Join the squares with pink yarn, inserting hook in both squares, making a sc in ea sc. Start and finish in a corner, leaving a 5" strand of yarn at the end. Sew it to the corner forming a loop.Weave in ends

N.B.

• Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
  • first sc with 1 ch, sc;
  • first hdc with 2 ch;
  • first dc with 3 ch;
  • first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
• When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
• Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
