    Wiggle It Crochet Trivet and Dishcloth Set

    Published: Sep 21, 2012 · Modified: Apr 14, 2022 by Tamara Kelly · 88 Comments

    What goes around comes around, and wiggly crochet is definitely coming around again! It's popping up on Pinterest and Ravelry, in rugs and afghan squares. Usually worked in squares and rectangles, with a base mesh and ruffles worked on top, it's got a great 3D big pop look. But I wanted to play around with the idea and maybe take it a new direction - and the Wiggle It Crochet Trivet and Dishcloth Set is the result!

    The trivet and dishcloth are essentially the same pattern; the trivet just keeps getting bigger! So if the trivet is too big for your needs, just stop increasing when you like the size and go to the finishing row of the base mesh. Go way bigger and add a non-skid backing, and you can make a gorgeous super luxurious plush rug!Wiggle It Crochet Trivet and Dishcloth Set - free pattern on mooglyblog.com

      Is there anyway to print your patterns?? I've tried printing the entire page ~ highlighting and printing just what has been highlighted ~ and all it prints is the first page/picture.

      This is a beautiful pattern and I was thinking of making it into a pillow!!

        To print the patterns, look for the green Print Friendly button at the bottom of each post - that will take you to a page where you print a full copy without ads and with or without the photos. 🙂

      I have never made these; but I have several made in the 50's and left to me when relatives died. Those are made with crochet thread, not yarn. I suggest using all natural yarn, like Peaches N Cream all cotton if using for hot pots. Thanks for the pattern in the round. Mine are square.

        Toni I have a video tutorial on the seamless join technique I use here: https://www.mooglyblog.com/crochet-video-tutorial-seamless-finishing-when-working-in-the-round/ It's an alternative to the slip stitch that gives a more "invisible" finish. 🙂

      A few years ago I bought a square trivet with a raised surface at a sale and was quite enchanted but never could figure out how it was made or what to call it. Now I know! I figured that it was somekind of grid.......... I know that raised flowers is considered Irish but does this attributed to any
      country or out of your amazing imagination? Thanks. Mary in NH

        Mary, Wiggly Crochet has been around for a long while, though as far as I know it's always been done one a square grid shape. I came up with working it in the round on my own, but I can't say no one else has every thought of it - I'm sure they probably have, I just haven't seen it (yet anyway). 🙂 Thank you!

      I am currently teaching myself to crochet via the internet. I found your pattern and ran right out to MIchaels to pick up my yarn. I have spent the weekend crocheting it and while I've had to tear it out a few times due to my own inexperience, I am currently fnishing the last row of ruffles. This has been fun and I look forward to giving this as a gift to my beloved Aunts for Christmas. Thank you for the great idea!

      Hi, I'm new to crocheting and I keep getting confused on this part of the pattern and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong? I keep ending up with 26 dc and 24chains ? I started with 12 dc and ch.

        Hi Linda! I'm not sure where you're putting the extra stitches, but another way to think of the instructions for this row is that you are alternating one stitch in one space with two stitches in the next space (with 1 ch between each st). So you start with 12 sts/spaces, and you increase by 6 because you are adding one additional st (and ch) in every other space.

        Does that make a little more sense?

      This is a great pattern. Years ago (back in the early 70's) the hot thing was to make the "grid" in the shape of a square and make big throw pillows out of this pattern. Thanks for the great idea!

        Sorry to hear it Helen! Basically it's V sts and single dc sts alternating, with ch sts in between.

      Everything old is new again, as the saying goes. We were making wiggly trivets in the early 80's. All the patterns were square then too, but like you I wanted a round one so I came up with my own round pattern as well back then. My grid was a bit different than yours. I'll have to give yours a go,

      wiggle it trivet I am having trouble getting the wiggle just right! And I have been crocheting over 49 years. Is there a tutorial?

      I see the step by step but am missing a step somewhere!

      I made this but it sort of curled up on me. For some reason it looks like a cap. What did I do wrong?

        It could be a matter of tension - working the pattern with a larger hook might help. If it's only slightly cupped, blocking it should help too!

      Been making these for years........Like to use rug yarn, tho now hard to find.
      Can be made out of acrylic, Tho use upside down.
      A little melting may occur, but doesn't affect good side and can still be used as decorative matt.
      Great to set a casserole, pot of chili, hot dish in the middle of the table.

      Hi, Im Making this as a rug, about 3ft across but it is terribly warped. When I pick it up its like a giant mushroom!! Is there a chance it will lie flat when it's finished do you think? I have about another six inches to do. Each round is taking an hour!!!, I will be very disappointed with myself if it all turns out to be a waste of time

        It's hard to say without seeing it, but I would recommend a severe blocking to help with the warping.

      Hello my name is misty and I am sort of new to crochet and I am trying your wiggle it trivet pattern and I am just now working on the base mesh and I can't figure out why it is curling in almost like a hat. Please help if you can or if you know of a video on how to make a base mesh in the round and you could tell me where to find it I would greatly appreciate it thank you and God bless.

      Hi!! I was so surprised when I came across this pattern. Years ago, probably the late 60s, my grandma and mom made hotpads that looked like yours. Except they were square and made
      from knit croschein (sp). I have always wanted to find a pattern and make some. Thank you for sharing your pattern. I can't wait to get started.

      Hi Tamara,

      I am finally ready to try a wiggly crochet--but I want to do a rectangle. I tried your suggestion to go to About.com--using your link and searching on google--but get nothing. I hadn't realized About was absorbed. Have you got a current link for their instructions? Or anyone's instructions so I can do a rectangle version? K-town seems to be mentioned in many places--but that's no longer there. The item on Rvvelry has been taken down--so I am coming up blank. I'd be glad for just a sentence or two on the basic method of constructing the mesh, if that were feasible. Thanks for any sies you can direct me to--or help, if you can.

        Hi Ruth! I believe you could either just work mesh in rows, or you could make something like a solid granny square, replacing every other dc with a ch 1 and skip 1. Which method you choose would depend on how you wanted your wiggles to go! 🙂

          Thanks, Tamara. I'll give your circular one a try to get the feel of it, and then sample your two suggestions here to see which might work for the project I want to design. I've not been clear how the mesh is created--and you've given me two alternatives! Thanks for responding!

      Why does the base look like a lot of stitches? Saw the sunflower one and it didn’t look as busy on the base.

      Thank you
