Very cool hot pads. What kind of yarn do you use? Thanks

QuiltnLady, I always just use a knitting worsted (acrylic) but you could use any kind. Those were Red Heart brand but any brand will do....whatever is on sale. I also forgot to mention in my previous post that my plywood for the frame is 3/4" thick.

I have almost forgotten about these!!! I made a friend a set for her wedding..... she has now been married for approx. 43 yrs....and she still has them.....occasionally still uses them!!!! They were the rage and I made quite a few of them. Hummm, I probably still have the frames around somewhere!! I had two sizes. Thanks for bringing this back to mind.....they make me smile!

I have some that my GRANDMOTHER made, and I'm 66 years old! Mine have been used, not saved, and they do indeed last forever!

The hot pads are really neat. I love how you have used the two yarns on each.

Thank you so much for sharing this! My Mom made me some years ago and they are still in great shape. Each time she sees them she laments that she no longer has the pattern.....she thought she crocheted them. I'm going to show her this picture and let her know they must have been done on a loom. She has dementia, so that may contribute to why she doesn't remember how to make them, but this just may jog her memory. Who knows, maybe she'll be creating some again soon.

I used to make them several years ago too. I still have the looms. One of the looms was like a longer rectangle for place mats or table toppers. They were fun to make
