Hot Pads
Materials:
 38 Peg Long Loom (Hot Pad / Pot Handle Mitt)
 Spool Loom (Handle)
 Cotton Yarn (About 6 – 9 oz)
 Loom Hook
 Yarn Needle
 Scissors
Note(s):
 The hot pad is worked using two strands of yarn held together as one
throughout.
 The instructions make a hot pad approximately six inches square.
 To make the hot pad larger or smaller, change the number of stitches cast on
and rows worked.
o 2 pegs = 1”
o 6 rows = 1”
Instructions:
1) Holding two strands of yarn together, cast on 12
pairs of pegs for Double Knit Stockinette. Repeat
twice. (You should have wrapped your pegs three
times and have 6 loops on teach peg.)
a. This way gives you a much tighter knit and
allows for there to be no holes in your hot
pad when stretched.
2) Work 36 rows in Double Knit Stockinette or until the hot pad is square.
a. Only knit two loops (one set) over, so there should four loops (two sets)
left. Then you wrap your pegs again and knit off.
3) When your hot pad is long enough, knit once more leaving only set of loops on
the pegs.
4) Bind off the last row and complete the Cast On Row following directions for
Double Knit Stockinette Stitch. Weave in ends.
Hanger Loop:
1. Work 2 stitch I-cord for three inches on the
spool loom.
2. Bind off the I-cord and attach the end to
the corner of the hot pad.
3. Secure all yarn tails and weave in.
