Gingerbread Man Hot Pad

When each holiday rolls around it brings with it the desire to crochet something cheerful & festive to display in my home! Although I love to create designs that are functional (and the Gingerbread Man Hot Pad is functional), I’m not sure I’ll be able to bring myself to actually use it for more than a decoration or to hold a plate of cookies for Santa. Do you ever think some things are just way too cute to be used?

Hot Pad is an A Crocheted Simplicity original design.

All of my patterns are written in standard american terms, unless noted otherwise.
