Let’s welcome October with a quick spooky project (ok, just barely spooky, but cute): A spooky cat hot pad.
In our Hobby Lobby yarn talk last week I mentioned that I like to use the “I Love This Cotton” yarn double layered. I showed last year’s pumpkin hot pad as example.
The Spooky Cat hot pad uses the same “I Love This Cotton” yarn in 102 Glowing and 02 Black Sparkle (Please note that the Black Sparkle contains 3% Metallic Polyester which most likely is not heat resistant. You could use a plain black instead.)
You will weave (1) hexagon in each color on the TexaTURTLE™ loom for the head, and (2) hexagons in black on the Original TURTLE Loom™ for the ears.
Using two strands of yarn, embroider the faces on each large hexagon. Use the photos for details.
Fold the “ear” hexagons in half and whip stitch them to the two layers of the head.
Using the orange yarn, starting at the bottom tip, work one round of single crochet, connecting both fabric layers.
Work 2 sc on each tip.
For the hanger, work a loop with 20 chain stitches between the ears.
Weave in ends.
Enjoy!
Cute!
By double layered do you mean two sewn together or woven over two layers?
Good question, thank you! In this case it means two hexagons sewn together.
I love it. Very cute!
