OMG! These are sold in many places and I have LITERALLY SPENT the ENTIRE DAY searching for the Crochet Stitch to make this exact pot holder / trivet. Seeing those potholders in this video got me so excited that I could not wait to finish the video to tell you that.😄 I will watch the video now. 😊

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

You can do it!!

[@TamLou64]

Thanks! I'm certainly going to TRY!👍😀 I ordered rope yesterday for delivery today and I MADE a set of knitting needles this morning out of wooden 9mm dowels I already had on hand. Large knitting needles are too expensive if they'll only get used a few times and making them was easy. Thanks again! 🙏 Oh, btw, I subscribed. 👍😀

Hi could you tell me where you purchased your cotton yarn?

[@marlarountree4715]

I'm a knitter and crocheter but this was really tough to do. Didn't want to slide very well on the bamboo needles. I ended giving up because it was so tough.

[@TamLou64]

You are amazing and awesome for sharing this! ♥️ I now know why I could NOT find a "CROCHET" PATTERN for this potholder even though I spent the entire day searching. It's because IT'S "KNITTED"! 🤣😂🤣 Most every listing I found selling this potholder/trivet advertised it as being a crocheted item and I could not figure out which crochet stitch it was using. I am not a knitter either, but you did such a wonderful job with this tutorial that I think I can do this. I just need to get some SUPER HUGE knitting needles and some rope. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, SO MUCH! 🙏 I can now make myself some of these wonderful potholders and move on to a different project. 😊 Have a great day!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Your excitement made me smile!!! I felt the same way. I saw it on vacation and started trying to crochet it for hours and hours - then had the same ah-ha moment and realized it was knitted!! I would love to hear how yours turn out and see pictures! [e-mail]

[@justamags]

I did this tonight! 6mm is certainly substantial! Think I'll try a thinner cord for coasters! Thanks for the idea 😊

iI'm new to knitting so I had troubles following along, although I felt it was a great video. I purchased the 5mm cording, but had to start over three times hahahhaa.........but not giving up. I was confused about the casting on part -- it wasn't clear that you using the tail part to cast on......finally figured it out. I'm determined to get this right!! I too saw and purchased the tribet at a gift store and loved it. I want to make these!!! Thank you for your video. ;-)

Thank you for such a great project. Wonder how this cord would work for scrubbies for dishes? Would make a cute set for the kitchen...

[@marlarountree4715]

love this hot pad. I'm a knitter so I ordered the supplies according to your link. You said size 9 knitting needles. When I recieved them from amazon. They are clover bamboo needles. Your needles on your video look much bigger. They look like they are an 11. Please let us know if that is the case or your really using 9 needles for this hot pad. Thanks

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

We love them as well. I only have size 9 needles. Thanks

[@KathySprau]

I love this! On the grommet, what size do I use for the hole? 3/8 or 1/2?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I used 1/2" - it depends on the size grommet you have.

Cool! It is 7.25" x 7.25"

[@nataliadepaz8537]

@@DIYOnTheHouse thank you 🥰

[@marlarountree4715]

I bought the 6mm cotton cord but used size 9 needles. size of needles shouldn't make any difference. The larger needles will just give it that chunky look. I bought bamboo needles also. When I proceeded to make this, I found it was very, very hard to slide the cotton yarn over the bamboo needles. It was so tough I ended up giving up. I am knitter of many years and have make many things but this was very hard to make. Can you give me any suggestions please. I love this!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I agree, it is harder than using yarn for sure! I had to keep mine loose, otherwise I couldn't get it to slide. If it is grabbing on your needles, maybe rub wax paper on the needles??

[@randinicolebisbano189]

Could you show this in crochet? It’s exactly what I’m looking for but I don’t knit!

Great video- Where do I find that leather holder part? Is that a kit? Thank you from Colo

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

It is scrap leather. The best place to purchase small quantities of leather is Hobby Lobby. You can also cut up old leather items, like purses from the thrift store and use the leather.

[@Thecraftinggirlboutique]

Can you give us a link for the rivit kit and the leather

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

The kit amzn.to/43ecdon. For the leather, you just need a few inches. Hobby Lobby is a good option - I use thin goat leather.

[@Carolynlundine]

Are the knitting needle 8 or 9 us or mm

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

It's a 9mm

[@DebbieLong-j3i]

I know that the yarn part is washable, but is the leather and grommet part also washable? Should it be hand washed?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Yes we wash ours, but we don't put it in the dryer.

[@terrilepine5123]

Is this hot pad knitted thick enough to use when taken g items out of the oven without burning your hands?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Super thick!

[@TamLou64]

❓❓❓Please help... I have a question.❓❓ First, let me just say, "Yaaaay!" and "Thank you again !". I finished it and it looks amazing BUT... MY ONLY PROBLEM is I don't know how to deal with the frayed ends of the rope after securely weaving 3 to 4 inches them in. I trimmed the ends very closely but they continue to fray and poke out where they can be seen and that looks horrible. I'm assuming you can't use glue because potholders are used for high heat objects so how do I resolve the fraying so it'll look perfect? PS - sorry if my comment was duplicated. Something weird happened when posting.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Congrats on finishing!! I would use the same color thread and whipstitch around the end and secure it in place. Let me know if that works!

[@nedramccaig7167]

Those knitting needles look much larger than a size nine, what kind did you use, please.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I am so sorry - THANK YOU - for catching this! I use size 9 on my macrame thread, and never caught that I said the wrong size! This uses size 13: amzn.to/3RDCGsG -- Thanks again! Totally appreciate it!

[@barbaramerchant9822]

Your project calls for 6mm cord, but, the link you posted does not include a 6mm. So will a 5mm cord be too much smaller?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Oh, I see that they don't offer the 6mm. The 5mm will work great! Have fun!!

[@artbynasrin]

Very nice, thanks for sharing, i saw these on amazon and it said crochet pot holder for 19 dollars, i knit and crochet and i know it is not crochet, thanks again,🙋🏼‍♀️❤️

Does the leather strap withstand heat ok and not melt?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

[@TamLou64]

❓❓❓Hi! I don't know if this matters but when I follow your link for the knitting needles, it tells me "No Featured Offers Available" and gives the option to look at other listings to purchase them from so I assume there's a POSSIBLE disconnect with your affiliate link that may prevent you from gaining commissions on the sale of the knitting needles. I could be mistaken because I don't know how that stuff works works but you did such a wonderful job on your tutorial that I would hate for you to miss out on commissions (no matter how large or small) only because something was broken. If there's not a problem, just ignore me and have a great weekend! LOL! 😄

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

OHHH - thank you!

[@LoriDunham-i6m]

The link to the cord is incorrect. It offers 3 different sizes but no 6mm. What is the size of the knitting needles? someone commented they ordered but looked much smaller than the ones you used in the video. Please explain both the cord and they needles sizes.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

The link has 5mm cord when you scroll down. They had 6 mm when I made the video - but 5 mm will work with the same size needles. amzn.to/2LpgHX7 Have fun!!

[@Carla-p4l]

your amazon link for the cord is 3mm. not 6 mm, do you know where i can purchase a reasonable priced 6 mm cord?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

That same link in the description has multiple sizes -- the last I looked, the 6mm was not available - but 5mm would work good!

[@MeMe-yr3or]

I didn't see how you got 13 Loops you said they should only be 12 on that on that line so where did that 13 Loop come from?

[@TamLou64]

This is my 3rd attempt to answer you. LOL! 😄 It keeps getting wiped out before posting it.😡 Ok, here goes... ▪️ The first loop is the Slip Knot she put on the needle that had the long tail. ▪️ Then she cast on 12 loops which makes a total of 13 loops. (I was baffled by this at first too). ▪️ The knitting stitch used is called the Garter Stitch in case you want to look at other videos using this Stitch. (I searched a video for the Garter Stitch and found videos that showed how to make the sides even and professional looking like the bottom's V shapes. It's not necessary but I preferred it). ⭐⭐Some really great, although unsolicited, info: ⭐⭐ I don't think I could have Knitted this (or anything else) without this particular video though because she gave very good instructions. I have NEVER KNITTED anything in my life until I made this potholder and it turned out great even if I do say so myself. 😊 So... if I can do it, you can too! TO SAVE $, make yourself 2 SETS of WOODEN KNITTING NEEDLES FOR UNDER $2 vs buying them on Amazon for $13+ by doing the following: ▪️Buy one 48" Long wooden dowel with a 7/16" diameter (it's the closest diameter to the suggested needle diameter). Cut it into 4 even lengths of 16". Sharpen the ends to a point with the large hole of a pencil sharpener. Use fine grit sandpaper OR a fine grit fingernail file to smooth out the point and any rough edges. (When selecting my dowel, I chose the smoothest available but the point will still need to be sanded smooth after sharpening it). BTW, I bought my dowel at Home Depot for $1.24 and made 2 sets. I used their saw to cut my four 16" Lengths. Okie dokie, that's it. I hope this info is helpful. Best wishes to ya'!😊

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Sorry, I missed seeing your comment. Did your needles work for you?

[@naturesgateway]

Part of your issue with knitting may be because you are using the American technique of knitting, which tends to be very awkward because you are moving your right hand on and off with each stitch. If you would learn the continental technique, you might find it easier to do, faster and less cumbersome. The cording is great for the style and thickness of the potholder.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

WOW -- I had no idea there was another technique! I will certainly look that up!! Thanks!

I've never knitted until this. Your video really simplified the process. It was a challenge for me as a lefty. But after ordering larger needles, I was able to figure it out.
