Select the loops you want to use. Decide to make a specific pattern by alternating colors. Use colors from the same color family or holiday colors, like red and green for Christmas or black and orange for Halloween. - 2
The warp is the vertical loops, and the weft is the horizontal.door lines background image by JoLin from Fotolia.com
Fasten loops vertically (up and down) across the loom on the pegs provided. These loops will be the warp, or the loops through which the horizontal loops (left to right), or weft, will be woven. - 3). Insert hook or crochet needle through the warp loops, alternating over and under. Attach a weft loop to the hook or needle, securing one end to a peg. Pull the loop through with the hook or needle and secure it to the peg on the opposite end.
- 4). Repeat step three on the next row. Go under the warp where you went over it in the previous row to create a woven pattern.
- 5). Continue weaving loops in this manner until there are no more empty pegs left.

A crochet needle or hook helps finish your project.crochet project image by robert mobley from Fotolia.com
To finish the potholder, start at one corner and detach a loop from the peg. Put a crotchet needle or hook through the loop and hook the next loop, pulling it through. Continue this around the entire hotpad. This will keep the potholder from unraveling. Leave the last loop hanging, securing it with a knot, so it will hang on a hook.
