Tunisian Hot Pad
"Don’t you love those double thick hot pads we always used to have around the house growing up? Now that I can crochet my own hot pads, I have roughly a dozen of them floating around. Great to use as hot pads for getting casserole out of the oven, or trivets for family get togethers. I love this type of folding hot pad because it only uses one skein of yarn, its double thick to protect our fingers in the kitchen, beginner-friendly, plus they work up so fast! Use this free crochet pattern to make a Tunisian Crochet double thick hot pad! "
