Stitch Guide
BBS – Beginning Border Stitch: It’s a single crochet stitch, placed between the V of the stitch below. Insert your hook into the designated stitch or space. Yo and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and draw the yarn through both loops on the hook. (it’s a single crochet)
BLOsc – Back Loop Only Single Crochet: Insert your hook into the back loop only of the designated stitch. Wrap the yarn over your hook and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and draw the yarn through both loops on the hook.
FLOdc – Front Loop Only Double Crochet (aka drop down dc): Yo, insert your hook into the front loop only 2 rows down. Yo and pull up a loop. Yarn over and draw through two loops on the hook.
FLOdc3tog – Front Loop Only Double Crochet 3 Together: *Yo, insert hook into indicated stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo and pull through 2 loops*. Insert hook in next stitch and repeat from * to *, yo, pull through all 4 loops on the hook.
EBS – Ending Border Stitch: Insert your hook into the designated stitch or space. Wrap the yarn over your hook and pull up a loop. Yarn again and pull yarn through both loops on the hook. Fasten off the yarn. (it’s a single crochet)
Dc – Double Crochet: Yo, insert hook in indicated stitch. Yo and pull up a loop. Yo and pull through two loops (2 times).
Sc – Single Crochet: Insert hook in indicated stitch. Yo and pull up a loop. Yo and pull through both loops on the hook.
Hdc – Half Double Crochet: Yo, insert hook in indicated stitch. Yo and pull up a loop. Yo and pull through all three loops on the hook.
Surface Stitch: Create a slip knot, remove it from your hook. Insert your hook into the indicated stitch. Add slip knot back on hook and pull to the surface of your work. Insert hook in next indicated space, grab yarn from below and pull up through your work and immediately through the loop on your hook. Repeat that around your work as needed.
Fsc – Foundation Single Crochet: Step 1: Create a slip knot. Ch 2. Insert the hook in the 1st chain. Yo, draw up a loop. Ch 1. Yo, draw through both loops on the hook. Step 2: (2nd st) Insert hook in the bottom two loops of the ch-1 created in Step 1. Yo, draw up a loop. Ch 1. Yo, draw through both loops (2 fsc created).
Recommended Yarn & Yardage Details:
I created this hot pad using Lion Brand’s 24/7 Cotton. Yarn Details: 100% Mercerized Cotton, 186 yds (170 m) per 3.5 oz (100 g) skein – Lion Brand Yarn 24/7 Cotton
You can use any weight yarn you’d like of course, however, using a 4 weight or smaller yarn is recommended – also use 100% cotton for heat purposes – otherwise it can cause a fire.
Size Measurements:
- 10” (25 cm) x 10” (25 cm) approximately
Estimated Yardage:
Color A (MC – Dragonfly): Approximately 1 – 2 skeins (for reversible)
Color B (CC – Ecru): 1 – 2 skeins (for reversible)
I ended up using 1 skein each doing reversible, but to be safe I’d get two of each color.
Recommended Hook Size:
4.5 mm (USA 7/G+ crochet hook)
How to Start the Apple Trivet
I did a reversible mosaic crochet for this pattern because it creates a very thick hot pad using 100% cotton to keep your table safe. Please read down for help on working it in a reversible mosaic crochet – with a link to a helpful tutorial if you are new to it. If you choose to do just one sided, I recommend creating a back piece to help with the thickness.
Starting Row:
- You can choose to work a Foundation Single Crochet Row of 39 or do a chain of 40 and work a row of single crochets back through the chain, starting at 2nd ch from hook.
- Just remember that your first row of single crochet is the first row of your chart.
- Foundation Crochet Row: After working your foundation row, begin working Row 2 of the chart.
- Starting Chains: After crocheting your starting chain, sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and across. Tie off. Add your yarn and begin working Row 2 of the chart.
Reversible Mosaic Crochet
Reversible Mosaic Crochet is created by working the back side of the work at the same time you work the front side. It may sound a little confusing at first (and it takes a little time to get used to it) but it creates a mirror image of the front side and it is absolutely beautiful!
I used this reversible mosaic crochet tutorial to learn how to do reversible mosaic crochet and it worked great!

Country Apple Mosaic Crochet Trivet Pattern
Pattern Notes:
- Work from Right to Left – leaving a short tail on each end.
- Ch 1, cut & tie off at the end of each row.
- Repeat the stitches between the […].
- When you see this on Row 9 in the pattern, you are working a FLOdc3tog over stitches 19, 20 & 21. All stitches on Row 8 are worked normal – as BLOsc (if working non-reversible), and for reversible, FLOdc into the stitches on the reverse side with anchoring (in the reversible crochet tutorial).

Envelope Border Instructions for Country Apple Mosaic Crochet Trivet
I used an envelope border for this trivet and the others in the series. Here’s how to do it, and there is a picture tutorial on the following pages (below)
🌸 Step 1: Create the Surface Stitch Border
- Follow the Envelope Border technique (below) to add a surface stitch along both sides of your project.
- Side 1: I start in the top right corner and work through two loops of 36. Side 2: Work into the ch 1 spaces created at the end of each row. Side 3 (bottom): Work through 2 loops of foundation row. Side 4: Same as Side 2.
- Turn your piece as needed to work along the edges.
🌸 Step 2: Work Half Double Crochets
- After making the surface stitch, work half double crochets (hdc) into the back loop only of the surface stitch around – do 3 hdc in the corner stitches to round it out.
🌸 Step 3: Side 2
- Flip your project over.
- Repeat Steps 1 & 2.
- When creating the surface stitch on the second side, align it directly underneath the stitch from the first side to keep the border neat and uniform.
🌸 Step 4: Finish the Sides
- Once both sides are bordered with hdc in the back loops, tie off the yarn and weave in any loose tails.
🌸 Step 5: Join and Close the Borders
- Join a Color A or Color B (your choice – I used ecru for my join on this one) in the stitch just to the left of your corner stitches along the top right edge.
- Holding the front and back of the envelope border together, work half double crochets through both layers to join them — this also encloses any yarn tails inside.
🌸 Step 6: Final Touches
- Tie off and weave in all remaining tails.
- You’re done!
Steam blocking or wet blocking makes these trivets look picture perfect!
Enclosing the Tails
This pattern contains an envelope border to enclose the tails. I recommend tying and securing the tails before creating the envelope border, but it’s not necessary – picture tutorial is below for how to create the border. It’s easier than you think!
Envelope Border Pattern
Watch the tutorial video on YouTube here >>> Easy Envelope Border Tutorial to get you up to speed on creating this fun border to hide those pesky crochet tails! Then come back here and follow the written instructions.
- Follow instructions in the stitch guide to begin working the surface stitch, then…
- Work surface stitch around the entire pattern, join into the first surface stitch, cut & tie off.
- Round 1: (RS) Insert hook in any surface stitch (BLO). Hdc (BLO) in each surface stitch around, creating 3 hdc in each corner, join with a slip stitch in 1st hdc.
- Flip to the WS and repeat Steps 1 – 2, work your surface stitch just below the horizontal surface stitches from Round 1..
- After both sides are complete, insert hook in 1st stitch to the left of any corner, ch 1, hdc through the top two loops of each WS & RS all the way around, tucking tails in as you go.
- Join with invisible join, tie off and weave in any leftover tails.

Anyone that can send me the Apple Trivet for Day 28 please send to [email protected]. I’m happy to send you any patterns I got that didn’t work for you to get as well. It’s not fair when you do everything required and it still doesn’t work.
The patterns can’t go to your email, when you put in your name and email and get, “Something went Wrong, Try Again!” I have tried over and over, and even used a different browser, and still get the same. They can’t go to my email when they can’t get past that “Something went Wrong, Try Again!” The only ones I have were the ones that I got from previous years. I still haven’t got the Apple trivet. I tried multiple times today and still get “Something went Wrong, Try Again!”
As I have found most of these links don’t work even when code to get on Ravelry codes never worked
They go to your email – but this one I forgot to publish the pattern! Sorry about that. It’s fixed now.
Like everyone above. I’m finding “Page not found”. Had difficulties with the moon and bat C2C. Technology is making this impossible. Hope it will get fixed, for future dates and that somehow we are able to get the patterns we have not been able to get the links to work.
