Simple Pumpkin Hot Pad / Pot Holder

 Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

IT'S FRIDAY FUN DAY!

*********************************

I have had many requests for a simple Crochet 

Pumpkin shaped pot holder / hot pad, so here it is.

 I hope you like it. I had a lot of fun designing it.

It's an easy design of a basic pumpkin with a 

stem, leaf and vine curl. You can make 1 or 2 

thicknesses, depending on what you will use it for.

If using it for an actual hot pad placing hot dishes on

 it or grabbing hot dished from the oven, I suggest

 making it double thick. If it a decoration

 1 thickness if fine.

I designed it using Medium (4) weight orange and

 sage green Red Heart Super saver acrylic yarn, 

as mine for for decorations,

 but again, If using it for an actual hot pad placing 

hot dishes on it or grabbing hot dished from the oven,

I suggest using a cotton or cotton blend yarn.
