JOINING:

Rnd 1: Holding together the wrong sides of both pieces, and working

through both spaces, attach a contrasting (CC) color with a sl st in any ch-2

space. Chain 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same space, ch 1, sc in next ch-2 sp,

ch 1. Work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the next ch-2 sp, ch 2, sc in next ch-2 sp, ch 1)

around. About ¾ the way around in joining, slip in the CD. Finish around.

Join in the 3^rd ch of the beginning ch-3.

You may end here as in the “Southwest” design, OR, add on Rnd 2 as in the

“Green” Hot Mat. The Green version has an edging that sticks out more.

Join to the beginning sc. Finish off and weave in ends.
