Materials Needed

- Hook: Size appropriate for your yarn (usually 6-9mm for double strand cotton or bulky yarns). plus a small 2.5 to help thread a bead
- Scissors: For cutting the yarn.
- Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.
- Wood beads with large hole or the bead free option
- Optional wood rings or I show you how to make one without the rings
- Optional: Blocking mat and pins to shape the trivet for a professional finish.
The Design: Simple and Sophisticated
This trivet combines a solid stitch base for heat protection with a braided strap for added flair. The strap not only serves as a convenient hanging loop but also elevates the design, making it look like it belongs in a designer kitchen collection.
Pattern Overview
- Start with the Base: Use basic stitches (like double crochet) to create a thick, sturdy base. This ensures the trivet is functional and protects surfaces from heat. My base includes a ring center detail for added visual interest.
- Add the Braided Strap: Crochet a long chain, fold it into a braid, and attach it securely to the corner of the trivet.
- Finish and Block: Weave in loose ends and block the trivet for a crisp, polished look.
Video Tutorial Included
To help you achieve the best results, I’ve included a step-by-step video tutorial. It’s perfect for beginners who may need extra guidance and ensures your trivet turns out just right. These chunky yarns magnify every mis-stitch so I am with you for every round to get perfect stitch placement.
Tips for Success
- Choose the Right Yarn: Cotton yarn is essential for heat resistance and durability. But you can use some blend yarns if using for your planter, warm dishes and teapots.
- Block Your Work: This simple step makes a big difference in the final look, ensuring straight edges and a professional finish.
- Experiment with Colors: Neutral shades are timeless, but don’t shy away from bold hues to match a specific kitchen theme.
