Notes:

This hot pad is crocheted in the round. You will start with a chain and then join to crochet in the round until you’ve reached your desired size. The entire piece is crocheted while holding two strands of yarn together.

You can easily make this crocheted hot pad larger by starting with a longer chain and crocheting for more rounds.
