There has been a bit of confusion about my pattern for the seed stitch trivets, so here’s a pictorial tute of the stitches.

1. Ch 25

2. Single crochet in second chain from the hook. (Where the silvery one is poking)


3. Note that there are two single crochets and then ch1 sc, ch1, sc. (My fingers a poking through the ch1 spaces.)


4. At the end of the first row, notice that you end with a ch1 space (finger) and then a single crochet in the last stitch.


5. This is the hardest part. Ch1 turn and put the first stitch in the same spot, before the ch1 hole. Your SECOND stitch goes in the ch1 space (silvery hook marking it for you)


6. As you head across doing your ch1 sc ch1 sc and reach the end, it should look like this:

7. Then you’ll ch1 turn and do that tricky step five again. You should have 24 stitches every time, counting the chains.
