Thermal Stitch Hot Pad

The thermal stitch hot pad is made by crocheting a simple square of the crochet thermal stitch. Usually I like to make my hot pads double sided, to make extra sure that there is no risk of heat reaching through the crochet holes to my hand. But the thermal stitch is so thick all by itself that there is much less risk of that! Please note that there is an ad-free PDF version of this pattern available for purchase in my Ravelry store.
