Front Post Bowl Hot Pad

Ok, I know I haven't been on here in forever.  So many things have changed in the last couple of years.  We've lost loved ones, moved across the country, ect.; but that is a story for another time.  I started crocheting again; and needed a place to post a new pattern.  I figured I would try posting here on my old blog.  I wanted to get the pattern posted quickly for others that were asking.  I will eventually get it linked on Ravelry, once I figure out how.


When I warm up food in a bowl in the microwave, I usually use a pot holder or towel to handle the bowl.  I do the same when I have a bowl of ice cream.  I figured it would be easier to make up a hot pad made especially for bowls.  I know that a lot of people have been sewing similar items but I decided to crochet one while watching tv.  I'm one of those people that has to multitask.  I have to keep my hands busy.

I love texture.  I used a lot of front post double crochet and front post triple crochet, some of my favorite stitches currently.  Anyway, here is the pattern that I came up with. Please let me know if you see any mistakes. I wrote it up pretty quickly.

This fits my Corelle bowls. Use 100% cotton.  It is washable and safe to use in microwave.  Just make sure that it is dry before using. I used Peaches & Creme yarn. I also used Premier Home yarn but it is a little thinner.  I used a 4.0 hook but use whatever works for you.  Experiment.  These are really pretty when you use a different color on each row, except maybe do the last 2 rows the same color.
