  1. very pretty items. I love the colors and so wish I could crochet.

  2. Jennifer, your patterns are wonderful-easy and easy to follow directions. Thank you and keep up the good work. Linda M.

    1. These are beautiful and I am going to try them soon! Just getting back into crochet this Summer, and teaching myself new things.
      Just curious if you could tell what brand of yarn this is, and where you find it at? Seems the bright cotton colors are hard to find, at least where I have looked so far!

    2. Susan, I get my bright colored Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn at Walmart.
      I've also seen them at Hobby Lobby, the Peaches 'n Cream line.

  3. Earlier this summer I pulled out my bag of cotton yarn leftovers and had a ball making a stack of these with all the bright colors I love. This last week I picked out four to take to my Red Hat Society dinner for a door prize. I attached a tag that said, "Kitchen Lovelies ~ dishcloths, hot pads, whatever ~ " They were a hit! The gal who won it is our one Pink Hat Lady, in her early 20s. The last I thing I heard her say was something about wall decorations!
    Since I picked out my favorites to take, I now have to make some more…

    1. What a fabulous door prize! I gave mine away too, to someone who just moved into a new home. I need to make some more too!

  4. I have a question…should i join each round with a slip stitch? The pattern above says to join round 1 with a slip – do all the others join with a slip as well?

  5. hi Jeniffer, thankyou for sharing the pattern. I love the color so pretty. I think it's not problem if we do first with magic circle.

  6. Hi I loved your pattern very much .Can i have the permission to sell within my friends……They all loved when i made for myself .
    Thank you

  7. Hi Jennifer, I have what is probably a silly question. I am very new to crochet and I have followed your pattern (love it by the way) but it doesn't lay flat. It curls up into what looks like a cone. What could I be doing wrong? Am I pulling too tightly? Any advice would be helpful! Thanks.

  8. Love these! Just whipped up two using the picot edging and finished them in no time. I will definitely be making lots more. Thanks for sharing! Tammy

    1. Did you count the ch 2 at the beginning for the round or is it just a "connecting stitch? and on round 4 it says 2 dc in next stitch but does it mean the ch 1 space?

  9. These are beautiful! Lily Sugar 'n Cream makes all of the bright colors. Michaels had them on sale last week for 97 cents per ball, and they have them fairly regularly for 4/$5. Hobby Lobby has more colors, and you can take their weekly 40% off coupon found online at their website.

  10. Jennifer, You asked that we only use these for personal and charity use. I am looking for dainty things like this to use as a fund-raiser to sponser a little girl in India. Do you mind if I use these patterns if I give your name and website as the designer? I really appreciate your skill. These are lovely. Do you mind emailing me your decision? Thank you.

  11. Only thing I found disappointing about the pattern is that you don't seem to have it fully write out which could confuse some newer crocheters. But it is fast and easy to follow along to otherwise.

  12. How can I print this? My mother loves to crochet but does not have internet to send to her. Thank you

  13. I'm having trouble with the basic round. I get the foundation and the first round, but start having trouble with the 2nd. By the 4th, I just have a frilly ruffle. Question: You don't say, but do I slip stitch at the end of the 2nd & 3rd rounds? I've tried it both ways and it still doesn't come out right. I've frogged this twice already and am about ready to give up. What am I doing wrong? I'm using a 5mm hook and Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn.

  14. I'm really having trouble on making the round. I've made other rounds but for some reason, I'm not getting this one. Should I be slip stitching at the end of Rnd 2? Rnd 3? It doesn't say so, but I've tried it both ways and can't seem to come out with the right amount of stitches either way. I'm usually a stickler for following patterns to the T, so I'm confused on this. I've been crocheting for about 6 mos now and am pretty familiar with the basic stitches and techniques, but like I said, for some reason I'm just not getting this and I really would like to make a few of these pretty trivets. Any help/guidance would be appreciated! Thanks!
