Materials Needed

Before you start, gather the following supplies:

• Yarn: Use a durable, heat-resistant yarn like cotton. Opt for colors that mimic real flowers or add a pop of brightness.
• Crochet Hook: A 4.0mm to 5.5mm hook works well with medium-weight yarn.
• Scissors: To cut your yarn after each section.
• Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends and sewing layers together.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Crochet a Flower Hot Pad

1. Start with the Center

The center of the flower hot pad will serve as the base for the petals.

1. Magic Ring: Begin with a magic ring and work 12 double crochets (DC) into the ring. Pull tight to close the ring.
2. Round 2: Chain 2, work 2 DC in each stitch around, and join with a slip stitch.
3. Round 3: Work 1 DC in the first stitch, 2 DC in the next stitch around the ring. Continue this pattern until you have a round that is slightly larger than the intended size of your flower’s center.

2. Create the Petals

With the center complete, it’s time to create the iconic petals that bring the flower hot pad to life.

1. Attach New Color: Attach a contrasting color yarn to start your first petal.
2. Chain 5: Work 3 treble crochets (TRC) into the next stitch, then chain 5 and slip stitch in the same stitch to form a petal.
3. Repeat Around: Continue this pattern, working one petal in every 2-3 stitches until you complete a full circle of petals.
4. Fasten Off: Secure the yarn and cut, leaving a long enough tail to weave in later.

3. Add Layers for Thickness and Heat Protection

For better heat insulation, consider adding more layers to your hot pad.

1. Second Layer (Optional): Repeat the process for the center and petals to create a second layer, slightly smaller than the first.
2. Join the Layers: Place the second layer behind the first and sew them together using a whip stitch or slip stitch around the edges.
3. Final Edging: To secure both layers, crochet a single crochet (SC) edging around the hot pad, incorporating both layers.
