Hexie Motif Hot Pad

New Crochet Pattern!

No more burnt fingers or tabletops with this quick and easy, free crochet trivet pattern! The Hexie Crochet Pot Holder pattern makes it easy to make and serve food while it’s still hot! As a busy mom that’s always my goal, but how often does that actually happen? With this double thick hot pad you can grab items out of the microwave or oven and set them right on the counter or table, ready to serve. The trick? It’s no trick! Just use your crochet hot pads as oven gloves and slide one underneath the hot pan or dish before you set it down! Saving time and eating hot food is winning in my book, how about you?

I was thinking about a way to create a crocheted pot holder that was quick to make and easy to clean, and could be made by a beginner. I love designing fun and functional crochet patterns that help YOU get your crochet on, and live your best life too. So I’m super excited to share my new FREE Hexie Motif Hot Pads Crochet Pattern with you. I sure hope y’all have as much fun making these as I did!

Quick and Easy Crochet Pot Holder

Y’all probably remember the Mystery Motif Crochet Along we did back in Sept 2021. These are the same Hexie Motifs that we used to create the Mystery CAL – Hexie Motif Wall Hanging! I always intended to make a whole series of patterns using this motif, and I’m so glad to share this Hexie Motif Pattern with you.

The best part is that this easy crochet hot pad pattern is quite easy to make with simple stitches and increases. You can make it in about an hour so they make great gifts! This free farmhouse pot holder crochet pattern is beginner friendly, and it’s double thick to keep you from burning your fingers or your countertops on a hot dish. Read on to learn about the simple pot holder crochet pattern and find the directions below. Happy Hooking y’all! 💜
