Trivet/Hot Pad Pattern

One Size

(To create a thick trivet or hot pad, we make 2 squares and crochet them together.)

Make 2 of the following.

Using the “H” Hook, Ch 28.

Row 1:  Hdc in second chain from the hook and in each chain across the row.  Ch 2.  Turn.  (27 st)

Row 2:  Hdc in the first stitch.  Hdc in each stitch across the row. Ch 2.  Turn.  (27 st)

Row 3 – 19:  Repeat Row 2.

Fasten off and weave in ends on first square.

Make second square.  After Row 19, do not fasten off.

Edging: 

     (This will give a nice edge, but will connect both squares together for a final, thick trivet/hot pad.)

• Place squares together, wrong sides together.
• Start at corner where you ended on the second square.  Insert crochet hook into the corner of top square and the  bottom square at the same time and work a single crochet.  Work a second single crochet in the corner. 
• You will now work single crochets around each side of the squares.  Be sure to go through both fabrics for each single crochet. 
• I placed 2 single crochets at the end of each row on the sides of the square and 1 single crochet in each stitch at the top and bottom.  But, I would suggest that you place the number of single crochets on each side that you feel comfortable with.  Just don’t do too many or your trivet/hot pad will not lay flat.
• In the corners, work 3 single crochet in the same stitch.
• When you get to the last corner, which was the corner you started with, add one more single crochet to the two that you worked when you began your edging.
• If you would like a little loop to hang this trivet/hot pad, Ch 10 and then slip stitch into the corner.  (This forms the loop.). Ch 1.  Fasten off.

Weave in ends.

You are finished!!!
