How To Weave a Striped Potholder



I made this potholder as a baby shower gift. The pattern is a striped pattern with carnation and silver colored loops.

Setting carnation to color 1 and silver to color 2, the pattern to make this is:

cols: [carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver]
rows: [carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver, carnation, silver],

Add the column colors first and then weave in the rows. The first row is weaved under the first column loop, alternating every other loop.

To make a striped pattern using different colors, substitute a new color 1 wherever carnation appears in the row and column lists and substitute a new color 2 wherever silver appears in the row and column lists.
