Things You'll Need:
- Square potholder loom
- Cotton yarn loops to fit the loom
- Crochet hook size G or H
- Contrasting cotton 12-gauge yarn
- Tapestry needle
-
Step 1
Warp the loom with parallel cotton loops. Weave the perpendicular woof of the pattern until the square is completed.
-
Step 2
Use a crochet hook at the corner of the loom to slip the corner stitch off the post and transfer it to the next post.
-
Step 3
Pick up the loop on post No. 2 and lift it over the slipped stitch onto post No. 3. The first stitch is bound off and can be removed from the post. Continue slipping and binding stitches until one stitch remains.
-
Step 4
Attach a contrasting loop of yarn to your crochet hook and pick up the final stitch from the loom so that there are now two stitches on the crochet hook. Pull a loop of yarn through the two stitches and continue around the square, doing a single crochet stitch in each of the previously bound-off loops.
-
Step 5
Cut the tail of the yarn at the end of this round. Pull it through the last stitch. Use the tapestry needle to weave any loose ends up through the beginning stitches to hide them.
