Free Pattern: Kitchen Sunflowers Trivet
Kitchen Sunflowers Trivet
Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, and sunflowers are one of those happy little things that seem to fit right in. A few years ago I created a sunflower kitchen set for one of our gift events and just kept adding pieces because they were so much fun to make.
This Kitchen Sunflowers Trivet is the finishing touch for the set. It has three layers of petals, a thick center and plenty of cheerful sunflower texture. Use it under a hot dish, add it to a fall table setting, or make the whole sunflower set for a colorful kitchen gift.
🌻 Make the Whole Set
This trivet is part of my Kitchen Sunflowers collection. Mix and match the pieces or make the whole set for a bright fall kitchen.

Petals
The back round of petals is worked first.
With an H hook, attach one strand of yellow yarn (or color of choice) to any st on the last round (outer edge) of the center.
Ch 2, (dc, tr) in same st, ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, (tr, dc, ch 2, sl st) in next st, sl st 2, (one petal complete), *ch 2, (dc, tr) in same st, ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, (tr, dc, ch 2, sl st) in next st, sl st 2*, repeat to end of round. Finish off and weave in end. (18 petals)
Middle Round of Petals
This round is worked into the remaining loops from step 8.
With an H hook, attach one strand of yellow yarn (yellow and white variegated in sample) to any remaining loop. Choose one that is in the middle of a petal from the previous round. This will stagger the petals.
