Last week I showed you my AFTERNOON TEA COASTERS pattern. This week I’m adding to that design with these lace-look trivets.
Beginning with crocheting the coaster, keep working, adding another 4 rounds, and voilà, you have a trivet!
With these trivets, you can start to see the lace-shell design emerging. Next week, I’ll make it even bigger, adding a place mat to the set. JOIN MY EMAIL LIST so you don’t miss it.

Afternoon Tea Trivets Free Crochet Pattern
These lace-inspired trivets add elegance to your outdoor gatherings. They are perfect for afternoon tea on the patio or weekend brunches in the garden. They also add a handmade touch to your kitchen all year round. The openwork design mimics vintage lace doilies, but with a modern twist — think classic charm meets bold summer color.
