I found a nifty looking pot holder pattern
&&i followed it exactly

&&somehow

I am currently knitting the worlds largest potholder

Oh. Boy.

#2

:teehee: Are you supposed to felt it?

#3

Nope.

I think I’m just going to wing the rest of it
&& fold it over

It appears to end bigger than my computer screen :stuck_out_tongue:

That was the first thing that came to my mind too, Ingrid.

Prettylittlelie-can you post a link to the pattern?

Maybe you’re using thicker yarn and bigger needles than the pattern needs?

#7

Nope! Followed it exactly!

The pictures were misleading lol

#8

When they say the gauge “doesn’t really matter”- they mean it! I would have to look up how big in US sizes a 5mm needle is to do it.

I am sure you’ll find good use for it (large pans to grab 2 handed maybe???)

#9

I think the cotton yarn they’re referring to in the pattern is actually bedspread weight cotton, like you would use to knit or crochet a doily. That would definitely make the piece come out smaller!

I thought it looked pretty thin for worsted. Oh well, you could make another just using one strand.
