This listing is for a digital PDF crochet pattern to create a unique Hen and Rooster Hot Pad set. Unlike traditional flat potholders, these feature a clever, hollow 3D head design. By inserting your thumb into the head of the chicken, you gain significantly more dexterity and grip when moving hot pans, lids, or baking sheets.

Design Features:
Functional Grip: The hollow head acts as a “thumb pocket” for better control.
Whimsical Decor: Looks like a classic round trivet when lying flat, but comes to life when in use.

The Perfect Pair: Includes instructions for both the Hen and the Rooster (complete with a bold red comb!).

Great Gift Idea: Perfect for housewarmings, Mother’s Day, or “clucky” kitchen enthusiasts.
Pattern Details:

Skill Level: Intermediate (requires working in the round and basic shaping).

Language: English (US Terms).
