This is part of my kitchen crochets. These dish mats are perfect for setting on the counter to set your dishes on for air drying. Place them on the counter alone or next to your drying rack. They also make great hot pads for casserole dishes.

This uses a small V stitch which allows air to circulate under dishes yet is stable enough to set glasses on.

Made in a smaller size they also make great hot pads for casserole dishes.

1 full sized mat will take 2 balls of yarn for the body and a small amount for the trim.
