Pot Holder / Hot Pad (Crochet)

*This is a great beginning project -- the hotpad is luxuriously thick and won't develop thin spots like store-bought potholders! (LionBrand.com)* Lion Brand Pattern #: ckc-pot SKILL LEVEL: Beginner 760-098 Lion Cotton Yarn: Natural (1 ball) Crochet Hook - Size K-10.5 (6.5 mm) Gauge: 5 sc = 2 inches; 8 rows = 3 inches in Single crochet (U.S.) *LionBrand.com Construction Notes:* Potholder is worked with 3 strands of yarn held together throughout. To use one ball, re-roll yarn into three separate balls. (If you are making more than one potholder, you may find it easier to get three balls of Lion Cotton to eliminate the need to re-roll.)
