What is a Starburst Hotpad Crochet?

How to Make a Starburst Hotpad Crochet
This crochet starburst hotpad is a wonderful way to keep your hands warm while you work. The starburst pattern is easy to follow and makes for a quick project. You will need basic crochet skills, and a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook to make this hotpad.
To make the base of the hotpad, chain 21 (23). Do not turn the work. Skip the next 2 chains (22), then yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook (23 + YO = 32).
Skip the next 2 chains, then yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook (24 + YO = 34). Chain 1, turn (25 + CH = 26).
Skip the next 3 chains, then yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on the hook (27 + YO = 33). Chain 1, turn (28 + CH = 29). Repeat these stitches across the top of the base of your hotpad. Finish off by tightening up any loose ends.
For the “starburst” part of your hotpad, work in continuous rounds starting with a single crochet in each stitch around.
Chaining 1 at the beginning of each round will help maintain your gauge.
Rnd 1: SC in first stitch, *skip two stitches, SC in next stitch; repeat from * around; join with a slip stitch in first SC.
Round 2: SC in first two stitches, INC in next stitch, *SC in next three stitches, INC in next stitch; repeat from * around; join with a slip stitch in first SC.
Rnd 3: SC in first four stitches, INC in next stitch, *SC in next five stitches, INC in next stitch; repeat from * around; join with a slip stitch in first SC.
Round 4: SC in first six stitches, INC in next stitch, *SC in next seven stitches, INC in next stitch; repeat from * around; join with a slip stitch in first SC.
Rnd 5: SC in each stitch around (12 SC). Fasten off and weave ends through all the loops on the hook. Use your fingers to press down all the bumps on the surface of your hotpad to form a smooth finish.
Tips for Crocheting a Starburst Hotpad
Crocheting a starburst hotpad is super easy and can be done in a few quick steps. The first step is to crochet a chain foundation circle. This will be the base of your hotpad.
Then, make 8 single crochets in the ring formed by the chain and begin the stella pattern (see diagram below). To create the starburst effect, work 3 single crochets into each stitch around. You’ll want to end up with 16 stitches in total.
Turn your work so that you are working back down the other side of the foundation chain and continue repeating the stella pattern until your hotpad is as big or as small as you’d like it to be.
