Create a Beautiful Crocheted Trivet

Crocheting a beautiful trivet can be a fun and rewarding craft project! Not only will it add a touch of charm to your kitchen decor, but it also serves a practical purpose by protecting your countertops from hot dishes. With a variety of yarn colors and crochet stitch patterns to choose from, you can get creative and make a trivet that reflects your personal style.

Pattern Notes

I tend to crochet tightly. So be sure to check your gauge and if you are crocheting more loosely, you can move to a smaller hook (or larger if you crochet even more tightly). Some people find they even need to go down two hook sizes to meet my gauge.

Pattern Instructions

Round 1

Start with a magic circle. 8 Hdc in magic circle. Mark your last stitch with a stitch marker. <8>

You will not be joining at the end of each round but working in a continuous spiral. Move the stitch marker to your final stitch as you reach the end of each round.

Round 2

2 hdc in each st around. <16>

Round 3

*1 hdc. 2 hdc in next.* Repeat from * to * around. <24>

Round 4

Sc in next. Sl st in each st around (including the sc at the beginning of this round). Place your final sl st in the first sl st of the round.

Finish off and weave in ends. If you don’t have a yarn needle for bulky yarn, you might want to invest in these finishing needles like I did!
