About this crochet pattern
This hen and rooster hot pad set uses a clever, hollow 3D head instead of a flat potholder. The head works as a thumb pocket, which gives more dexterity and grip when handling hot pans, lids or baking sheets. Lying flat, it resembles a round trivet.
The pattern includes instructions for both the hen and the rooster, and the rooster has a red comb. It makes a good housewarming or Mother's Day gift. Intermediate skills help: working in the round and basic shaping.
