Marly Bird is back again with her 24 days of Quickies - new crochet and knit patterns every day, that work up fast for the holidays! My contribution is the Bauble Wiggle Trivet - CLICK HERE to see all 24 days so far!
When it comes to kitchen items, I'm a big fan of using Lily Sugar'n Cream. It's readily available in tons of great colors, but more importantly, it's 100% cotton. This is super important when you intend to use your crochet item with hot things.
And a trivet is certainly something that needs to be able to stand up to prolonged contact with high heat! Acrylic and plastic-based yarns may melt, and wool may felt if it gets washed. Since trivets are used with food, they need to be easy care... so this yarn is perfect!
The Bauble Wiggle Trivet is made in three sections, that work up super quickly! First, you make the base mesh, and then you add the "wiggles" - post stitches that add thickness and texture. Finally, the topper/hanger is added - making it really look like an ornament, and including a handy loop to hang it up as decor when not in use!

Bauble Ornament Wiggle Trivet Tutorial
NOTES:
This pattern is made in three sections. First, we make a mesh circle. Then, we crochet the "wiggles" into that mesh. We add the white star/snowflake and then fill in with the blue wiggles. Finally, we add the yellow hanger - go with gray if you prefer a silver look!
Ch 4 in the mesh counts as a dc and ch 1.
When making the Wiggles, work ONLY around the mesh dc sts, as for post stitches. Do not work into the ch-1 sps or into the edging.
Always add wiggle sts from the RS of the football mesh.
When you work 3 dc sts "up" the post of one st (from base to top), then you will work the next "down" the st (from top to base) - these alternate creating a wave across the row.
Prefer a different star/snowflake design? Feel free to get creative with how you fill in the circle!
Rnd 1: Make a magic circle, and sc 6 times in the ring; join to the first sc with a sl st. (6 sc)
Rnd 2: Ch 4 (counts as dc and ch 1), dc in the same st, *ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next st; rep from * to end, ch 1 and join with a sl st into the 3rd ch. (12 dc, 12 ch)
Rnd 3: Ch 4, dc in the same dc, ch 1, dc in the next dc, *ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next dc, ch 1, dc in the next dc; rep from * to end, ch 1 and join. (18 dc, 18 ch)
Rnd 4: Ch 4, dc in the same dc, [ch 1, dc in the next dc] twice, *ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next dc, [ch 1, dc in the next dc] twice; rep from * to end, ch 1 and join. (24 dc, 24 ch)
Rnd 5: Ch 4, dc in the same dc, [ch 1, dc in the next dc] 3 times, *ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next dc, [ch 1, dc in the next dc] 3 times; rep from * to end, ch 1 and join. (30 dc, 30 ch)
Rnd 6: Ch 4, dc in the same dc, [ch 1, dc in the next dc] 4 times, *ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next dc, [ch 1, dc in the next dc] 4 times; rep from * to end, ch 1 and join. (36 dc, 36 ch)
Rnd 7: Ch 4, dc in the same dc, [ch 1, dc in the next dc] 5 times, *ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next dc, [ch 1, dc in the next dc] 5 times; rep from * to end, ch 1 and join. (42 dc, 42 ch)
Rnd 8/Edging: Ch 1, 2 sc in each ch-1 sp around (skipping the dc sts); break yarn and seamless join. (84 sc)
Add Stitch Markers: Place stitch markers in Rnd 7, in the 4th dc after each increase. (As seen in photo above.)
First Line: Join with dc at top of Rnd 6 dc post below any marked st, 2 dc around same post, [3 dc around post of st in the row below] 4 times, dc around sc in rows below, skip the magic circle, working toward stitch marker on the opposite side of mesh, dc around sc st, [3 dc around post of st in the row above] 5 times; break yarn and finish off.
Second Line: Join with dc at top of Rnd 6 dc post below next marked st, 2 dc around same post, [3 dc around post of st in the row below] 4 times, dc around sc in rows below, ch 1, skip the magic circle and other line(s), working toward stitch marker on the opposite side of mesh, dc around sc st, [3 dc around post of st in the row above] 5 times; break yarn and finish off.
Third Line: Rep as for Second Line.
Note: Do not break yarn in this section unless instructed - simply move to the next row. We will go back and forth across the mesh to the end. When you work up one post of a row, work down the next, and vice versa. When going to to a new row, start the first post from the bottom.
Repeat for Each Section: Join with dc at bottom of any unused Rnd 2 st, 2 dc around same post, 3 dc around 2nd unused st of Rnd 3, 3 dc around rem Rnd 3 st, ch 1, 3 dc around first unused post of Rnd 4, [3 dc around post of next Rnd 4 st] twice, 3 dc around last unused post of Rnd 5, [3 dc around post of next Rnd 5 st] three times, ch 1, 3 dc around first unused post of Rnd 6, [3 dc around post of next Rnd 6 st] four times, 3 dc around next marked Rnd 7 dc, [3 dc around post of next Rnd 7 st] 6 times; break yarn and finish off.
When Weaving In Ends: The last end of each section should be sewn to the stitches of the next section, as shown below. All other ends can simply be woven in down into the mesh.
Row 1: Working entire row in BLO, join with dc in any Rnd 8 st, dc in next st, hdc in next 2 sts, sc in next 2 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, dc in next 2 sts; turn. (Rem sts left unworked.) (10 sts)
Row 2: Ch 1, sc in each st across; turn.
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in the first 5 sts, ch 14 (or to length desired for hanging loop), sl st in last sc made, sc in each rem st across; break yarn and finish off.

Paper chains are used for all sorts of events... and send a lot of paper to the trash! Instead, make the interactive Countdown Crochet "Paper" Chain! Get the crochet pattern right here on Moogly!
Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links; materials provided by Yarnspirations.
Paper chains were a staple of my childhood. We used them to countdown to holidays, decorate for birthdays, and for all sorts of school projects. We went through a *lot* of construction paper. So I decided to come up with the Countdown Crochet "Paper" Chain!
Reusable year after year, the Countdown Crochet Paper Chain can be made in any color, for any occasion or decor. The oversized links are bold and modern - I'd love to see a set in all neutrals for a boho look!
These links also make a great counting toy for preschoolers working on their numbers and manual dexterity! Make them in a rainbow for a double dose of learning, or use them as a candy-free advent calendar. It's decor and a learning tool all in one. You might get looped into making a set for your kids' classroom!
In this small sample set of Countdown crochet Paper Chains, I used the Moogly Crochet Numbers as appliques. But of course, you can also write out a message, or do the entire Moogly Crochet Alphabet! The ideas are endless - you can even have kids pair uppercase and lowercase by mixing in the Moogly Lowercase Crochet Alphabet.
And if you need even more options, there's the Moogly Currency Set and Moogly Greek Alphabet!
In addition to making this project kid-friendly, I wanted to make this pattern beginner-friendly! So I used just single crochets and chains. Each link whips up in a half hour or less, especially once you've got it memorized. But if you want to add texture to the equation, here is the formula I landed on: Make sure that the link is 3 times longer than it is wide, plus however much you want the ends to overlap. With that, you can get creative with the pattern and yarn!
Add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue and Favorites
US-L, 8.0 mm hook, Susan Bates
US-F, 3.75 mm hook, Susan Bates (for numbers only)
Bernat Blanket (6 - Super Bulky; 100% polyester)
Colorway Shown: Bernat Blanket O'Go in Sky
35 yds per paper chain link
Bernat Softee Cotton (3 - Light; 60% cotton, 40% acrylic) (for numbers only)
Colorway Shown: Clear White
10 yds approx per number
1 ⅝" Buttons - 2 per link made
Optional: Craft Glue and Spray Starch
Gauge: 8 sts x 8 rows = 4" in Blanket with 8mm hook
Finished size: each link measures approx 4" wide x 14" long laid flat
Countdown Crochet "Paper" Chain Tutorial
To fit the links as made with Bernat Blanket, use Bernat Softee Cotton and a 3.75mm hook when using any of these patterns.
Row 1: Ch 9, skip the ch closest to the hook, sc in each rem ch across; turn. (8 sc)
Rows 2 - 25: Ch 1, sc in each st across; turn.
Row 26 [RS]: Ch 1, sc in first 2 sts, ch 3 (or as needed to get around your choice of buttons), sc in next 4 sts, ch 3 (or as needed), sc in last 2 sts; break yarn and weave in ends.
Assembly: Sew buttons to RS of Row 1, spaced to match up with the ch loops on the other end.
Add Appliques (optional):
Block the appliques WS up. When they are dry, use spray starch (optional) to add a bit of stiffness and hold the blocking. Let dry before adding to the links.
Then, use Bernat Softee Cotton to sew appliques to the RS of the links as desired, or use craft glue to glue them on. (Sewing will be more secure for long-term use.)

These days decor seems to be all about texture, and that's what inspired the Fluffy Diamond Pillow! I used a few different things to pump up the fluff. Bernat Blanket and Sheepy both pull their weight here, but I think the pillow form is also key!
And it's not about getting a pricey pillow, or what it's filled with. That's up to you - everyone has their preferences for down, polyester, foam, etc. But when I make this sort of pillow, I try to always purchase a pillow form that is one size bigger than the crochet outer (this one is smaller inside than out too). This creates max squish! But if you prefer a thinner pillow, you may prefer a 16" pillow form instead.
Because it's made with big thick yarns, this pillow works up super fast. Great for last-minute prep for that holiday party, or to give as a gift!

I went with a tone-on-tone look for my Fluffy Diamond Pillow, but you can mix and match to your heart's content! I think the pink Sheepy would look so sweet in this design!
And you can play with the "fluffiness" too! I added Bernat Sheepy to every post stitch on my pillow, but you could choose to go only with one diagonal, or even highlight squares! Or what about one big fuzzy diamond in the middle? It's up to you!

One of the fun things about a mobius is the variety of ways you can wear it! Throw it around your neck when you head out the door, and pull it down over the shoulders when it gets extra chilly.
Then pull it up in a hood for the really nasty weather!
I had to wait a few days to be able to get some pictures, but here you can see some of my favorite ways to wear the Golden Halo Mobius!
@mooglyblog it's getting chilly out there! 🥶 The Golden Halo.Mobius is sure to keep you cozy 🔥 - just one skein of Caron Colorama Halo O'Go needed! 😇 Now free on Mooglyblog! ❤️ #yarnspo #mooglyblog #ogo #oneskein #golden #crochet #mobius #freecrochet #crochettok ♬ Cold Weather - The Upsetters
I used exactly one skein of Caron Colorama Halo to make the Golden Halo Mobius. And I was obviously inspired by the color when coming up with the name! This yarn was lovely to work with.
It has a fantastic "halo" of fuzziness that adds interest and texture. But I didn't find it any harder to frog than a smooth yarn! I definitely recommend picking some up and giving it a try!
