Margie’s Knitted Corn Skillet Handle Covers 
I’m hoping this will work with a cotton worsted, and although our stainless cookware’s handles do not conduct heat, I cannot say the same for the cast iron. The corn cob pattern and the cast iron should marry quite nicely :mrgreen:
How cute! I think these would be great. My thoughts: Cotton tends to stretch and may get loose on the handles; you want something that will wash and dry easily and cotton will - some wools will too. I look forward to a FOto and your comments on how the cotton works for you.
I can see the corn ears being used in other ways too.
Maybe I’ll make one and we can compare notes. They should go pretty quickly.
Alright, curiosity has gotten the best of me. Tell me the ways 
No. I won’t. pout
I’m not sure, it just seems like the corn should be good for other things too. The only thing that really came to mind was to stuff them for decorative items or even toys. Somehow they just seem to be…useful. :teehee: Trust me, I know all about things that should be “useful” but never get used.

It really does look like rows of corn kernels.
Looks perfect! This is a great idea for iron skillets.
It’ll also work for the times you have to finish off a dish by putting any pan into the oven. I try to leave a reversed oven mitt on the handle once it comes out of the oven just to remind myself (and others) not to grab the handle. This would do the trick.
Your corn is too cute!
What a neat little pattern, claire! Thanks for sharing - I’m thinking about giving a felted pair a go…
Although I did a knitted cast on for this, the project begs for a provisional cast on. To finish the ‘cob’, the thread is run through the last eight stitches, drawing them up tight.
Stranding is done tightly, helping the piece to roll up and switching the colors every fourth stitch creates the effect of ‘rows’. The resulting material is quite thick, initially I wondered whether there would be enough protection from a hot handle. There is.
This pot holder has a different pattern for the leaves, :think: Decisions, decisions.
I like the leaves too. Good to know that the thickness of the fabric works as insulation.
How cute! It dose make me hungry for corn on the cob nown though. :teehee:
Wouldn’t they be great for barbecue tools too!
:woot:
