Knitting, once a favorite hobby of our grandmothers, is today an increasingly popular trend in home decor. And, if you are an introvert like me, you will love to knit.
The reasons?
- Knitting is an excellent anti-stress.
- Knitting is a good way to switch off from everyday life.
- Working on a project takes a lot of time, most of which, will be spent on your own.
- Your knitted items
are made to decorate and beautify.
Unlike the knitted blanket that took me a month to complete, these knitted pot holders are quick to do, especially using a thicker yarn that doesnโt require as many rows to be done.
For those who have just embarked on the hobby of knitting, it will be effortless to make these knitted pot holders!
Complete the job adding a leather hook, useful for hanging them.
Knitted Pot Holders
Materials:
US 15 – 10 mm needles
Fabric yarn
Size: approximately 8โ wide x 7.5โ long
Cast on 13 stitches and knit 24 rows of garter stitch.
Casting off and weaving in the ends.
For the handle:
leather
rotary cutter
leather punch
rivet kit
Cut a piece of leather roughly 19 cm (7.5โณ) long and 1,5 cm (0.5โณ) wide with a rotary cutter. Using a leather punch, punch a hole at each end of the leather. Hold the ends of the leather together so that the holes overlap, then insert a rivet backing from behind.
Push the rivet backing through one corner of the potholder then snap on the rivet cap.
Use a hammer to pound the rivet shut.
These knitted pot holders are an excellent beginner knitting project with the bonus that itโs handy for the home!
Iโm curious if youโve started learning how to knit, or now have it on your list?
