Things Needed
Weaving potholders on a square loom is a fun action for children and grownup . These small looms enclose weaving concepts and encourage weaver to apply color . They are small and portable so they make good distractions . And when done , you have a utile household item . Potholder looms and loops are readily uncommitted at craft store or from the Internet . The loops come in a ten thousand of colors so you never have to weave the same aim twice .
Warping the Loom
Step 1
Start at one corner of the loom and stretch out a cringle from the first oarlock at the top to the first peg at the bottom .
Step 2
Stretch another loop from the second peg at the top to the second thole on the bottom .
Step 3
remain in this way until there is a loop topology stretch between every set of top and bottom pegs . This is call " heave the loom . "
Weaving the Potholder
Hold or place the loom so the warp loops are perpendicular . Starting on the upper right side , slew the weaving tool under the two chain of the first loop , then over the next loop , and under the one after that . Continue in this manner , weaving over and under all the loops . The weaving tool – which come in the outfit with the loom – may have a great and small hook ; apply the remainder with the little hook .
Attach a loop to the hook on the weaving tool and perpetrate the eyelet through to the veracious side . ensure the loop is caught on the top unexpended peg as you pull it through .
Attach the loop to the first pin on the right side of the loom .
Step 4
Place the weaving tool over the first two strands of the first loop topology , and under the next loop . This is opposite of the first woven grommet . Continue weaving over and under until the hook is on the left side .
Step 5
Attach a eyelet to the hook and draw it through to the correct side as before , attaching it to the second thole on each side .
Step 6
Continue weaving in this manner until there are grummet on all the pegs .
Removing the Potholder From the Loom
practice the crochet lure to murder the loop at one corner of the loom . Repeat with the next cringle to the left . There are two loop on the hook .
Pull the 2nd loop on the crotchet through the first loop .
absent the next loop from the loom with the crochet hook , and steal it through the grummet already on the hook .
Continue in this style , crop your way around the loom , until there is only one eyelet left . To make a hang loop and keep the side loops from unraveling , slip one of your weaving loop – perhaps one that was too light to match the loom – into that last crocheting - sweetener cringle and pull one end through .
