If your project isn’t thick enough to protect from heat, just make a second one and stitch them back to back, then add loop for hanging.

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about that. I can can assure you that Lion Brand does not use such software. (I encourage you to review our data security policy on LionBrand.com.)

If you’re using a personal computer, I would suggest running a virus scan. If you’re in an office, talk to your network administrator.

I hope that helps!

I make potholders out of left-over yarns from various projects, since most don’t have to stay within a particular color scheme. They can be of a single color, various stripes, whatever. Also, eons ago, I purchased a circular pattern for them in three different sizes. Most times now, I make the largest one (about 8-9″ across), as a ‘pot-sitter’ for the counter, then two potholders to pick a pan up with. Also, I’ve just make one side, folded it over, and made a smaller one for the little one cup pan or so, lessening the danger of having the holder reach the flame if one forgets to turn it off first. Also, these semi-circle kind are great for the microwave to handle a cup, plate, bowl, or . . . ?, and remove such safely.

I have made several using two strands of yarn. They turn out thick but still flexible.

Do you have a knitting pattern for these pot holders. Thanks

My favorite way to make pot holder or table protector is to try new stitches. If the pattern is holey I just put a back or middle in the mix. For example: granny squares are naturally holey. If I make 2 to go on the outsides, I would make a middle in single crochet and sew every thing together. You get a fancy look, and a potholder that won’t burn fingers. And every new stitch needs to be tried before your final project. Pot holders are the perfect size to figure out your hook size for gauge. And if they are truly to holey they can be used as hot pads for the dishes on the table, or if you used cotton as dishcloths.

I made those with a friend long ago but didn’t have a pattern and cannot remember how to do it. Do you have the pattern to share?
