Bobbles Dishcloth and Trivet

June 27, 2016 By Yarnovator

Dishcloth+ Series: June’s Bobbles Dishcloth and Crochet Trivet / Hot Pad

When things get too hot to handle, reach for your crocheted trivet / hot pad!

Bobbles are fabulous stitches for adding big round nubs of texture to your crochet fabric. On the dishcloth they act as extra scrubbing features. On a trivet or hot pad, they add extra bulk to separate hot pots and pans from your dining room table.

The dishie was designed with fewer bobbles so that it can still fit inside cups and glasses.

The trivet was designed with many bobbles to create a thicker fabric. Many crocheted hot pads are simply two layers of crochet sewn together. Here we’ve created one with Insul-Bright Batting so that it will provide a heat blocker between your hot pots and pans and your hand or dining room table. Add a fun cotton fabric backing to coordinate with your kitchen.

The dishcloth and trivet are crocheted in Fibra Natura Good Earth distributed by Universal Yarn. This cotton linen blend is perfect for going from sink to washing machine and back again.

Summer Floral Wreath

Hello Summer!

I crochet all year long, even in the hot summer weather. It’s the perfect time of the year to crochet smaller projects like flowers! This super fun wreath will dress up your front door or wall in your home.

This sunny wreath is a cozy that wraps around a 14″ straw wreath. And the floral blooms are a mix of three crochet flowers whipped up in several different colors. This would be a great stash busting project!

The crocheted Summer Wreath includes:

Rose
Carnation
Daisy
Leaf
Wreath Cozy

Of course, the flowers can be used lots of different ways. Create a bouquet and put them in a vase. Or attach them to a hair clip or a newborn headband.

Pin Loom Pattern Baby Blanket and Alphabet Set

Baby Blanket with Crochet Edge Pin Loom Pattern with 36 New Pin Loom Square Patterns

Create your own baby blanket by pin loom weaving! This sweet little baby blanket was made with a 4″ pin loom, 2 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver yarn and a size H crochet hook!

The pin loom allows you to weave on the go (or while watching the kids play on the playground in my case). It creates 4″ squares that can be joined by needle or hook. Then, you can dress it up (if you want) with a bit of crochet edging (crochet is still my first love, so you know I couldn’t resist adding that).
