Diamond Waffle Hot Pad Free Pattern

Diamond Waffle Hot Pad – Free Pattern

---

Learn how to crochet the beautiful diamond waffle stitch while making something useful for your kitchen.

These Diamond Waffle Hot Pads are the perfect gift for someone who loves handmade items. Pair them with wooden utensils and homemade spices to create a beautiful gift set.

Below you will find the patterns for the single-color version as well as the one for the 2 color version where I show you where to change colors. The trellis pattern made by the front post stitches is more evident when crocheted in 2 colors, but even the ones made in one color look gorgeous.

Diamond Waffle Hot Pads Crochet Pattern

• the detailed explanation with step-by-step photos for the fptr and fptr2tog can be found in the Diamond Waffle Pattern Tutorial in the special stitches section.
• ch3 at the beginning of the row counts as a dc
• ch1 at the end of the row does not count as a stitch
• the stitches contained within the ** is the repeat section
• the number at the end of each row is the number of stitches you should have

Single Color Version

Starting Chain: ch27
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc next 25ch, turn = 26
Row 2: ch3, dc next 25ch, ch1, turn = 26
Row 3: Fptr around the 3rd sc from row 1, sk1 on row 3, sc in next 3sts, *fptr2tog (1st incomplete fptr made around the same sc post from row 1 you already worked in, 2nd incomplete fptr made around the sc post 3 stitches apart), sk1 on row 3, sc in next 3 stitches*, repeat from * until you have 2 stitches left in the row, fptr around the last sc post worked from row 1, sk1 on row 3, sc, turn = 26
Row 4: ch3, dc next 25ch, ch1, turn = 26
Row 5: sc in next 2sts, *fptr2tog (1st incomplete fptr made around fptr 2 rows below, 2nd incomplete fptr made around the next fptr stitches 2 rows below), sk1 on row 3, sc in next 3 stitches*, repeat from * until the end of the row, turn = 26
Row 6: ch3, dc next 25ch, ch1, turn = 26
Row 7: Fptr around the posts of the fptr stitches from row 5, sk1 on row 7, sc in next 3sts, *fptr2tog (1st incomplete fptr made around the previous fptr posts you already worked in from row 5, 2nd incomplete fptr made around the next fptr posts from row 5), sk1 on row 7, sc in next 3 stitches*, repeat from * until you have 2 stitches left in the row, fptr around the previous fptr posts from row 5, sk1 on row 7, sc, turn = 26

Repeat rows 4, 5, 6 & 7 until the hot pad is 19.5cm tall (in my case 3 more repeats), don’t fasten off.

Single Crochet Border

Continue from the corner where you finished your last row going, down the side.

Round 1: *1sc in the sc row, 2sc around the dc row*, repeat until you reach the next corner, 3sc in the corner, sc in each st across the bottom of the piece until you reach the next corner, 3sc in the corner, *1sc in the sc row, 2sc in the dc row*, repeat until you reach the next corner, 3sc in that corner, sc in each st along the top part of the piece until you reach the corner, 3sc in that corner, sl st in the first sc you made in this round, ch1, don’t turn

Round 2: *sc in each st along the side until you reach the corner st (the 2nd sc of the 3sc you previously made in the corner), 3sc in the corner st*, repeat on each side of the piece (4 times in total), sl st in the first sc you made in this round, ch8, sl st in the next st, fasten off, weave in the ends.

Two-Color Version

Changing colors in the 2 color version is not always done at the beginning of the row, but a few stitches in the row right when you start making the front post treble stitches.

When you do it this way, only the trellis pattern on top will be in a different color and it will look a lot better than making the entire row in a different color.

Pay attention to the color changes and don’t miss out on the changes made inside the rows, I wrote them in capital letters for you.

I cut the yarn at every color change and weaved in the ends before crocheting the border.

Start with color A
Starting Chain: ch27
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc next 25ch, turn = 26
Row 2: ch3, dc next 25ch, ch1, turn = 26
Change to color B
Row 3: Fptr around the 3rd sc from row 1, sk1 on row 3, sc in next 3sts, *fptr2tog (1st incomplete fptr made around the same sc post from row 1 you already worked in, 2nd incomplete fptr made around the sc post 3 stitches apart), sk1 on row 3, sc in next 3 stitches*, repeat from * until you have 2 stitches left in the row, fptr around the last sc post worked from row 1, sk1 on row 3, CHANGE TO COLOR A, sc, turn = 26
Continue with color A
Row 4: ch3, dc next 25ch, ch1, turn = 26
Row 5: sc in next 2sts, CHANGE TO COLOR B, *fptr2tog (1st incomplete fptr made around fptr 2 rows below, 2nd incomplete fptr made around the next fptr stitches 2 rows below), sk1 on row 3, sc in next 3 stitches*, repeat from * until the end of the row, turn = 26
Change to color A
Row 6: ch3, dc next 25ch, ch1, turn = 26
Change to color B
Row 7: Fptr around the posts of the fptr stitches from row 5, sk1 on row 7, sc in next 3sts, *fptr2tog (1st incomplete fptr made around the previous fptr posts you already worked in from row 5, 2nd incomplete fptr made around the next fptr posts from row 5), sk1 on row 7, sc in next 3 stitches*, repeat from * until you have 2 stitches left in the row, fptr around the previous fptr posts from row 5, sk1 on row 7, CHANGE TO COLOR A, sc, turn = 26

Repeat rows 4, 5, 6 & 7 until the hot pad is 19.5cm tall (in my case 3 more repeats), you will end the square in color B, fasten off, and weave in the ends.

Single Crochet Border

Place the crocheted square with the right side facing you (the front post stitches on top). Join color A on the left side corner of the piece with a slip knot (the last sc).

Round 1: *1sc in the sc row, 2sc around the dc row*, repeat until you reach the next corner, 3sc in the corner, sc in each st across the bottom of the piece until you reach the next corner, 3sc in the corner, *1sc in the sc row, 2sc in the dc row*, repeat until you reach the next corner, 3sc in that corner, sc in each st along the top part of the piece until you reach the corner, 3sc in that corner, sl st in the first sc you made in this round, ch1, don’t turn

Round 2: *sc in each st along the side until you reach the corner st (the 2nd sc of the 3sc you previously made in the corner), 3sc in the corner st*, repeat on each side of the piece (4 times in total), sl st in the first sc you made in this round, ch8, sl st in the next st, fasten off, weave in the ends.
