Refresh your kitchen with this easy textured hot pad pattern. The delicate puff stitch creates little bumps that help protect against the heat. This project isn’t too thick so you can use it as a dishcloth or a washcloth – the texture offers the right surface for gentle scraping. To make it even more convenient, a simple loop in the corner makes it easy to hang.

The piece measures about 20×20 cm (~7.8×7.8 inches) and uses a combination of basic stitches and puff stitch.

You can use any type of cotton Sport-weight yarn.
