Round Clustered Hot Pad Crochet Pattern

Decorate and protect your table with this hot pad crochet pattern. It is made with double crochet clusters to create extra cushioning and protection for the surface.

Crochet this hot pad in a single or a two-tone color. If using two colors, you can easily reverse the colors if making more than one for a bit of matching variety.

You can also make a matching coaster simply by fastening off at round 4. The coaster tends to curl up around the edge, which naturally fits around a mug. The finished coaster measures approximately 4 inches in diameter.
