MOD ROUND ROSE-TRIMED LID KNOB HOT PAD

MOD Round Rose-Trimmed Lid Knob Hot Pad; Castle Rock-WA

I like these lid knob pads because they are easier to use on pot lids, than the bigger & bulkier regular hot pads: just slip them over the lid knobs 😊

This round lid knob cover will fit both a raised knob, and a flatter knob.

MOD HOT PAD PATTERNS~4 sizes; 4 different designs

MOD TEXTURED HOT PADS SET; Castle Rock-WA

These textured med-, large-, & sm-sized hot pads are more rectangular, than square, in their finished shape. Sometimes a rectangular hot pad is needed - where a square would either be too big, or too small.

The extra large Rectangular Hot Pad is my own design that I worked up for the first time, the Fall of 2025 - while in Coalinga-CA.

The easy-peasy hot pad patterns are all 4 designed & worked around the original "Diagonal Grandma's Hot Pad", which is worked in a round throughout - marking the first st of each round with a stitch marker (I use a length of scrap yarn).

MOD LRG-SIZE  HOT PAD

The worsted I used in this pattern, was slightly thicker, so the row count was shorter than the medium sized hot pad … if using thinner worsted, start folding the ends towards the center at row 14, and eyeball the distance to closure ends & make adjustments to accurately shape your square: this is not hard to figure out - you can do it!
