Potholder: pattern reading

On By CarynIn Craft

Many of the pictures of woven loop potholders are taken when the work is still on the loom. This makes it easy to see the order of the colored loops by looking at the colors on the pegs. For plain weave potholders, this is all the info needed to recreate the pattern.

Photo description: potholder on the loom in light green and dark green, the vertical loops have 9 alternating colors, which then repeat, giving two light green loops in the center and light green on the outside. The horizontal loops switch this, with the dark green doubled in the center and on the outside.

Since the loom was out, and there were still loops left, I had to give this neat directional pattern a go.
