This adorable trivet is inspired by beautiful zinnia flowers, my favorite flowers. They bring the feeling of summer—sunshine, color, and blooming gardens…
It’s textured, elegant, and perfect for gifts or home decor. The design features a front decorative panel and a solid back panel, joined together for thickness and durability.

Do NOT cut yarn. You will join the front and back panels with single crochet (sc) around the edge.
Join the front and back panels by crocheting them together with single
crochet, stitch by stitch. The 150 stitches on the back panel should match the 150 stitches on the front panel. Wherever you prefer, you can add a loop for hanging the trivet. Simply crochet a small chain loop (I made 15 ch) at your chosen spot before finishing off.
To finish your piece, you can block it or steam it with a steamer. Align all layers evenly, gently flatten the piece, and once it’s shaped nicely, your trivet is ready to use!
