Knitted hotpads are essential to every kitchen. No matter how often you’re cooking, a hotpad will always come in handy, because most of our meals are hot and need a pad underneath. The same thing applies to baking! I can’t count all the times I didn’t have any pad to put under my freshly baked pie and ended up using a cutting board. It’s so annoying! But now you can knit your own knitted hotpads, because they are so simple and easy to make and above all, they really make your kitchen look beautiful!
