However, with the Chunky Farmhouse Hot Pad, your search for the ideal kitchen accessory is over. This beginner friendly pattern combines the rustic charm of farmhouse aesthetics with the practicality of a hot pad, making it a must-have addition to any kitchen.

 

The inspiration behind the Chunky Farmhouse Hot Pad was born out of a desire to create a versatile and visually appealing kitchen accessory. Inspired by the cozy and warm atmosphere of farmhouse decor, this pattern incorporates chunky cotton cord and a simple garter stitch to bring a touch of rustic charm to your kitchen.

 

One of the key features of the Chunky Farmhouse Hot Pad is its ability to seamlessly blend style and functionality. The cotton cord used in this pattern not only adds a visually appealing texture but also provides excellent heat resistance, making it an ideal choice for protecting your countertops and tables from hot pots, pans, and dishes.

 

The beauty of the Chunky Farmhouse Hot Pad lies in its versatility. While primarily designed as a hot pad, it can also be used as a trivet, a decorative centerpiece, or even a cozy resting spot for your favorite mug. Its neutral color palette and timeless design make it a perfect fit for any kitchen decor, whether it be modern, traditional, or farmhouse-inspired.

Whether you prefer a monochromatic look or want to experiment with different color combinations, the possibilities are endless. Additionally, you can adjust the size of the hot pad to fit your specific needs, making it adaptable to various kitchen tasks.

Pattern:
Cast on 15 stitches loosely - I use the long tail cast on. 
An easy video tutorial can be found here.
If you want your hot pad to be bigger or smaller, simply increase or decrease your stitch count and adjust your rows accordingly.
Row 1: K 15 sts
Rows 2-30: repeat row 1
Bind off - Weave in your ends
Attach your chosen leather tag (optional).

Hi Carole, The cord I used in the photos shown is a double ply cord. It’s linked at the top of the blog. :)

**Sorry I made an error… It’s actually a 3 ply cord not double :)

It takes 30 “yards” to make one?

Nicky’s Country Crafts replied:
Hi Laurie, yes 1 roll of cord (the ones I used) were 109 yards. You can make 3 hot pads with 1 roll of cord. They indeed take approximately 30 yards each.
