Bottle Cap Trivet
©1994, Cindy L. Murray
All rights reserved.

Materials:
Cotton thread size 10
#6 steel crochet hook (or size needed for guage)
19 metal bottle caps (as found on glass coke bottles and beer bottles)
 

Guage:
Two rounds in pattern should be approximately the same diameter as one bottle cap.

Notes:
Chain three at start of round counts as first dc throughout.  Join each round with a sl st to the top of ch 3.  Be sure to wash and dry all bottle caps thoroughly before crocheting on them.
 

Pattern:
Chain 4.
Rnd 1:  15 dc in 4th chain from hook; 16 dc (ch 3 counts as first dc now and throughout); ch 3, join.
Rnd 2:  dc in same stitch as ch 3, 2 dc in each stitch around; 32 dc; ch 3, join.
Rnd 3:  dc in back loops only of each stitch around; 32 dc; ch 3, join.
Rnd 4:  sk next three stitches, (dc in next dc, skip next 3) around;  insert bottle cap so that the open side is seen through the webbing on round 4; join.  Finish off.

Finishing:
When you have all your bottle caps made, sew them together with a whip stitch on the back side as indicated in the diagram.  Secure all knots.  Vibrant colors should be treated to avoid dye run.

Care Instructions:
Trivet can be machine washed, and should always be machine dried so as to avoid rusting of bottle caps.
