Pizza Pan Hot Pad

Designed By Julie A. Bolduc

This hot pad is a direct result of a request from one of the JPF Crochet Club members. She mentioned she found a pattern in a magazine that looked like a pizza and was big enough to put a pizza pan on. Well since there was a pattern that looked like a pizza already, I decided to make one that was just big enough for a pizza pan but does not look like a pizza. This is the result.
