How to End a Loom Loop Weave

A loop weaving loom is far smaller and less complicated than a traditional weaving loom.

If you have a square potholder weaving loom, all you need are a few fabric loops and about an hour of time to make yourself a hand-woven potholder. The simple part is stretching the loops across the loom, but it can be a little bit tricky to get them off again without causing your potholder to fall apart. Follow a basic one-after-the-other order and you can remove your weaving from a loop weaving loom in a few minutes' time.

Things You'll Need

• Square weaving loom
• Weaving loops (already woven)
• Loom weaving hook or crochet hook

Instructions

1. Start in the top left corner of the loom - it doesn't really matter which corner you choose for this, but you just need to pick a corner to start removing the potholder from the loom.

2. Pick up the first loop on the top left side of the loom; mentally label this loop A. Hold loop A with your hook and then pick up loop B (the next loom moving to the right across the top of the loom) also with your hook.

3. Pull the hook end so you guide loop B through loop A; drop loop A after doing so to keep only loop B on the hook.

4. Work your way across the top of the loom, picking up each loop in order and pulling it through the loop on your hook before dropping the first loop off your hook. Continue around the loom in clockwise order.

5. Hold the final loop on your hook after you have removed the rest of the loops from the loom and woven them together to finish your project. Grab a new loop from your extra pile of loops and thread it with your hands through this loop, then thread the other end of it through loop A using the loom hook. Tie a knot in the ends of this new loop to secure the potholder's edges and give it a hanging loop.
