Lotus Bloom Trivet

**Lotus Bloom Trivet** For Intermediate/Confident Beginners The Lotus Bloom Trivet is a textured, floral-inspired piece designed to be both functional and visually interesting. Worked in joined rounds using an **embossed stitch technique**, the pattern forms nine gently tapered petals that create a sturdy, raised surface for hot dishes while adding a bit of detail to your table. The pattern includes **clear written instructions** to guide you through each round, along with photos of the finished piece so you know what to expect as you go. You’ll also have access to a **full video tutorial**, where I walk through the process and demonstrate stitch placement for the more detailed sections. **Pattern includes:** * Written instructions (US terms) * Embossed stitch technique for added texture * Photos of the finished trivet * Private, step-by-step video tutorial **Materials note:** For best results and heat resistance, use 100% cotton (such as mercerized cotton) or wool. These fibers will hold their shape and stand up to heat much better than synthetic blends, which can scorch or melt. This is a satisfying project if you enjoy texture and shaping, and want something practical that still feels a little elevated. It also makes a thoughtful, handmade gift.
