If you ever made potholders as a kid, the result probably came out looking like rainbow barf. But they can actually look pretty profesh, as long as you follow some centuries-old weaving patterns
Did you ever make potholders as a kid? If so, you were probably given a metal loom and a pile of multicolored loops and were taught the basics of weaving: over, under, over, under. Unfortunately, the completed project usually came out looking like rainbow barf. So it might come as a revelation that loom-woven potholders can actually look pretty profesh, as long as you follow some centuries-old weaving patterns.
ADVERTISEMENT 1) Start by placing loops on each peg vertically, attaching them at the top and bottom of the loom. This is called the warp. For the weave design , place loops as follows, from left to right: 1 powder blue, 1 pewter, 1 powder blue, 1 pewter, 1 powder blue. Repeat this series of 5 loops all the way across , stopping wherever in the pattern it is that you run out of pegs.
Weaving is done exactly like you think it is: pulling your loop from left to right, go over both strands of the first loop, then under both strands of the second loop, then over the third loop, continuing until the end. Push your loop down to the bottom and place both ends on a peg. For the next loop, you’ll start by going under both strands of the first loop, then over both strands of the second loop, etc.
