This flower hot pad is intricate, but not very complex to make. You will need 100% cotton yarn to make this project as a hot pad, since cotton can withstand heat. You can still make this project without cotton yarn, but it will likely melt if you try to use it as a hot pad. With a 4mm hook and medium-weight cotton yarn, this project measures 7 inches across.
If you are familiar with front post and back post stitches and crocheting mandala-type patterns, this pattern should be relatively easy for you to make. If you haven't used front post and back post stitches before, they aren't too hard to learn and are useful stitches to know. Pictures are included in the pattern for each round so you can see what the pattern looks like as you crochet.
This pattern uses FP and BP dcs, mr, ch 3 picot, dc, sc, sl st, and ch.
