6 Woven Potholder Designs for 1/2" 56 peg 7" Potholder Loom
Six Woven Potholders Designs By Renee Van Hoy
This collection of six designs is specially created for the Cindwood Looms 56-peg small potholder loom. Why a special collection? Many of the metal and plastic frame looms have very small tines to hold the loops, which means the count is larger on each side of the loom.

About the patterns:
The patterns are set up to describe the two "sides" of the weaving process. The first is setting up the loops, running them across the loom to prepare them for weaving. This is Side 1, non-woven side in the patterns.
The second "side" is the weaving portion of the potholder. Colors are given in the order they are used for both sides. A loop count is given to help you sort out your colors and plan your project.
