  1. I like your hotpads but not sure on a few of the stitches. Do you have videos on making them? If so I would really like to see them to help me understand the patterns. I have been crocheting for a while now but just figured out how to read patterns.

    1. Hi Tracey, I”m sorry I do not have a video for this pattern, but I am slowly working on adding more video. What stitches in particular did you need help with?
