Using one of my favorite two row repeat patterns, the Interlocking Row Stitch you can learn how to crochet the perfect hot pad, the Everyday Hot Pad, in no time with the free version below.

Inspiration
The idea for the Everyday Hot Pad pattern has been hanging out in my head for quite sometime. So, when Marie over at Underground Crafter invited me to participate in the 2025 International Crochet Month Blog Hop I knew that this idea needed to be written up and released especially for this event.
For this blog hop, we were asked to design a project that reflects what we love most about crochet. I love quick projects, cotton yarns, relaxing 2 row repeat stitch patterns and reusable, useful things. This crochet hot pad definitely includes all of those, the things I most love about crochet!
NOTE: This hot pad pattern is intended to protect countertops and tables. It is not meant to pick up hot pots/pans.
If you want more inspiration for unique yet eco friendly, useful patterns, then be sure to check out some of my other designs.
Design Details
The hot pad is designed with the I Love This Cotton yarn that I had on hand. It’s a very soft, worsted weight yarn that works up perfectly for this pattern. You only need a 6.50 mm hook and a little over 100 yards to make one extra thick hot pad.

Instead of making 2 panels and then connecting them to make the hot pads thick enough to protect your tables and counters you’ll work with 2 strands of cotton yarn. This technique gives the hot pad such a pretty, dense texture. The border is so fun and you get an awesome cushy edging just by using front loops and back loops of single and double crochet stitches. Even though it’s pretty easy to work up, the premium PDF offers a photo tutorial for working the border if you get stuck.
Yarn Info!
The hot pad shown above is made with I Love This Cotton in Dove. I also used I Love This Cotton in Ivory and Serene Spa which is shown in photos throughout the article.
Several of these yarns can be found on Amazon and if you want to check them out over there just click the photos below. **As an Amazon Associate I may earn from qualifying purchases.
I love how easily customizable these hot pads are with the unlimited colors that are available in worsted weight cotton yarn. Look at these beauties from my amazing testers, Stacy, Michele and Carol! Stacy used Sugar ‘n Cream, Michele used We Crochet Dishie in Flower Girl Multi and then Carol used Mainstays 100% Cotton. All of them worked up beautifully, right?!
The Everyday Hot Pad is an easy pattern perfect for advanced beginner crocheters. It only uses basic single crochet and double crochet stitches.
