These are great to protect your countertop or table from the heat of hot dishes or the moisture of sweating glasses! They make great gifts for any occasion, too. What a wonderful project to do with your children or grandchildren!

This stunning afghan is one-of-a-kind! It would make a lovely heirloom to pass down through the generations or a very thoughtful wedding, Christmas or birthday gift! The entire afghan is made with rows of single crochet stitches in the Intarsia crochet technique (also known as a graphghan). Color changes are worked throughout the afghan, then one round of single crochet is added to finish off the edges neatly.
The pattern includes two downloads: one with added photos and one without the extra photos. Written instructions are given for how to begin the afghan (Row 1), along with how to work the edging. The afghan is worked following the 4 included “quarter” charts, which help to make the squares on the chart larger and easier to follow (instead of one large chart with smaller squares).
NOTE: Knowledge of the Intarsia (graphghan) style of crochet is required for this project. If you’re unsure how to work this crochet technique, watch various YouTube videos to learn the technique and practice on a small Intarsia/graphghan project first. Also, read my blog post about this afghan and the Intarsia Crochet technique here to learn my tips and tricks for working Intarsia Crochet.

In this alternate style of mosaic crochet, the project is reversible, with the main color being predominant on the right side and the contrasting color being predominant on the wrong side. These hot pads are worked continuously with the unused color being carried across to the other end of the work, eliminating tails at the beginning and end of each row. So when you finish crocheting these beauties, you only have 4 ends to weave in and you’re all done!

When following the instructions for the basic granny square given in the Red Heart All In One Granny Square yarn, there isn’t much yarn left from Round 5 to weave in the ending tail, let alone join squares together. With this alternative granny square, there is plenty of yarn left over (approx. 3-4 feet / 91.5-122 cm) to join squares together and weave in the end. This eliminates the need to use a different yarn to join the squares together, making the color used in Round 5 and the joins match perfectly!
Basic stitches are used throughout the square, making it easy for anyone to crochet.
Pattern is written in US crochet terminology and includes written instructions as well as a symbol crochet chart for crocheting the granny square.
