Checked Hot Pad / Pot Holder Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Checked Hot Pad / Pot Holder 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 

IT IS FRIDAY FUNDAY!

I designed a Checked Washcloth / Dish Cloth about

 four years ago and I was recently asked if I had

 a matching pot holder. I did not, but I do now!

And I really love how they all turned out.

Get In Your yarn stash and make all sorts of colors, 

or make a matching set. You can make them 1 thickness,

 or 2 thicknesses for added safety.

I also have a crochet pattern for a mug rug / coaster

 that is checked that can also be made to match.

Now you can make coordinating sets as

 gifts or for yourself, family and friends.

 Just have so much fun and

 learn how to crochet the checkered pattern. 

It is fun and easier than you think.

And Can make for any season, holiday or occasion.

Get in your yarn stash and stitch a bunch of them up.

 But be careful, once you start making them,

 you will not want to stop!
