Materials:
1 Looper Frame (like one makes pot holders on)
2 skeins of fingering weight cotton yarn or handspun of similar weight
threading hook
tapestry needle
crochet hook size d or c
Directions:
Wind a warp onto the looper frame and secure. Fill in and weave following the directions that come with these little looms.
Carefully remove woven square from the loom. Make 11 more squares to total 12 in all. Lay out in a pattern three blocks wide and four blocks long.
If you used different colors of yarn for the squares make sure you like your design. Crochet the squares together using the loops on the side. Single crochet a loop on one square, then single crochet on the abutting loop of the square next to it. Go up one line of abutting squares. Then do the same until the squares are all joined. Finally, single or double crochet the outside edge of the whole towel to finish off the outer loops of warp.
If you don't know how to crochet, loop the edges over like the pot holder directions which come with the loom and then sew together.
Voila!!! A dish towel. One can embroider or decorate at will.
You can use wool or other materials to produce other types of cloth to join together for patchwork to make various garments or afghans. Check out a patchwork book for ideas and patterns.
Have fun,
Lili
