Most of the canning I do is in small batches and I have a 3.5 quart tall pot that works great for holding three jars at a time. I wanted something to keep the jars off of the bottom of the pot and what makes this
Crochet Rack or Trivet for Canning a little better than a dish towel is, it can be made the exact size of your pot. It's 100% cotton, and I'm lovin' the fun sherbet colors! It does tend to float a bit, but I just push it back down when I add my first jar.
Now, in a perfect world I'd have a neat silicone trivet that would sit on the bottom of the pot and stay put, but until that day...
This crochet trivet from leftover yarn, that cost me pennies to make, will do just fine:@)
Use your favorite crochet stitch in a circle pattern until it's big enough to cover the bottom of your pot.
