Crochet Instructions:

Step 1: Create the Base Circle
Row 1: Start by chaining 6 chain stitches. Join the chain into a circle using a slip stitch.

Row 2: Crochet 18 double crochets (dc) into the circle. Ensure even spacing for a neat foundation.
Step 2: Form the Petal Loops

Row 3: Work in the first stitch of the previous row.
Chain 23 chain stitches, then slip stitch into the same stitch.
Work 1 single crochet (sc) in the next stitch of the base row.
Repeat this process around the circle, creating 9 loops in total.
Step 3: Shape the Petals

Rows 4–9: Work single crochets around each loop:
Begin by adding 3 single crochets at the center of each loop for shaping.
Continue single crocheting across each loop to form defined “petals.”
After completing all rows, you should have 9 petals.
Step 4: Finish the Petals
Turn all petals to the left for a uniform and polished look.

Adding the Contrasting Edging

To make your hot pad pop, we’ll add a contrasting thread around the petals:
Starting at the top of any petal, work as follows:
1 single crochet (sc) in the middle of the petal’s tip.
Crochet 7 single crochets evenly along one side of the petal.
At the base (center) of the petal, work 15 single crochets for fullness.

Continue with 7 single crochets on the opposite side.
Repeat this process around all petals, connecting them into a complete circle.

Finishing Touches

• Once all petals are edged and joined, lightly steam the hot pad from the reverse side to flatten and set the shape. Avoid direct contact with the yarn to maintain its quality.
• Use the tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends.
