It's the season for entertaining! Take a stack of these to your next get together for a thoughtful and useful hostess gift. Be sure to keep a few for your own kitchen too!
Crocheted with a large hook and three strands of cotton yarn, these trivets are extra thick to protect surfaces. I had the most fun experimenting with all of the different color combinations too. Two versions...square and circle. Make a few of both!

Great idea to make them big and squishy.... I love the colours you used. Thanks again for your how-to.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm going to give a bunch as gifts. When we have big dinners, I never have enough of these for my table! :)
DeleteI immediately made a round one in yummy Christmas colors-love it! Thanks for the great idea:@)

ReplyDeleteI am in love with the yarn you chose. Do you remember the brand and colors?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I used Peaches 'n Creme, and I think it was just about every solid color the craft store had on their shelf! :)
DeleteDo I repeat round 3 to make it bigger ?
ReplyDeleteIn my experience in crocheting in the round, the next row would be double crochet 2 together then double crochet in next 2 stitches.
DeleteTry that out. I hope this works.
