Pretty (Useful) Christmas Granny Pentagon Trivet

I am in love with these colors... I currently have three projects lined up with this Cream and Burgundy Caron Simply Soft. This green is Bernat Satin, which is exactly like Simply Soft. I love it <3  The other three projects also have a light grey, kinda silvery Simply Soft. There will be pictures later. Promise. :)

Two five-sided grannies are single stitched together with wrong sides facing each other. I was lazy and didn't actually darn in my ends, I simply left them kinda long and tied them together in bunches, then made sure they were stuffed inside when I stitched the grannies together.
Which I did with the cream yarn, as you can see. To make the grannies, follow a basic granny patter, but with five beginning clusters instead of four.

Now lay your grannies with wrong sides facing each other. Insert your hook in a corner. ALL OF YOUR STITCHES WILL GO THROUGH BOTH LOOPS OF BOTH GRANNIES. It comes out lumpy if you don't. anyway, hook in corner? good. Holding your border color yarn, yarn over and slip stitch. Single stitch once in the corner, then in the top of each DC. For the CH1 spaces, you can stitch into the chain stitch, but it's much easier to just stitch into the space, and it separates your clusters better.
Do this all the way around. You can do either 1 or 2 stitches in the corners.
If you want a hanging loop, when you get to the corner you started in, single stitch, then chain about twice as long as you want your loop. Slip stitch in the first stitch and fasten off.

 My mom was so happy when she saw this brightening up her china hutch. Apparently I'm talented. XD I'm just glad when things turn out the way I want them to.


Blessed Be, and Happy Hooking during the Holidays!
