Additional Notes:
-ch 1 at beginning of round does not count as a stitch.
-These hot pads are crocheted starting at what will be the top of the piece.
-New rounds are always started in the same stitch you joined into. this will keep your seam going straight up the side of the hot pad.
-These hot pad patterns eat up a lot of yarn. This is purposeful and adds to their thickness and functionality.
