Hotpad

Comments: This is a very easy but very nice looking potholder/Hot pad. If you crochet the flower in red and the back in white or green you will have a nice Christmas gift! Tip: if you use a thinner or thicker yarn than what I used, adjust the increments on the back side to let it remain flat.

Size : 9 inches ( 23 centimeters) diameters

Material : Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn ( we call it "Poor Cotton", but a yarn like "Sugar&Cream should be good), color orange and black, Hook no.4 (US=G/6); you may want to give a look to my virtual store if you need materials.

Stitches : ch, sc, dc, dc dec =dc decrement = dc not closed in first st, dc closed with prev in second st

Difficulty: easy
