I got the idea to make this hot pad from A Granny A Day blog. It's such a cute idea and will make wonderful gifts for Christmas next year!
It's a very simple pattern and it is quite quick to make! I used a size G hook and 100% cotton yarn for this pattern.

Put the two pieces together, right sides facing out. Crochet together with any edging you want. Here is one option.
Edging: Join with sl st. ch1 and sl st into the next stitch, ((sc, hdc, sc) in next st, sl st into the next 2 stitches) around. Now ch as many stitches as you want to make the hanging loop and slst into the same stitch to join the loop.
