Easy Chevrons Potholder Pattern!

Inside: Free Two-Two Twill Chevrons Potholder pattern with written instructions and links to weaving chart and tutorial videos.

Chevrons are an absolutey classic design.

And who doesn’t love the classics?

The Two-Two Twill Chevrons Potholder creates the iconic nested arrow design using two colors of potholder loops. This easy loom weaving pattern is fully reversible and works up quickly and easily.  This design includes both a 17-peg and 18-peg version.

The original design is done using all 18 pegs, but it is slightly off center. I found using only 17 pegs created a perfectly symmetrical potholder. My Type A self likes this much better!

This pattern includes written instructions and links to a weaving chart and fully-captioned tutorial videos showing the entire project for both right and left handed weavers.

NOTES 

The two-two twill chevrons design uses two colors: 1 on the warp (vertical) and 1 on the weave (horizontal).

You place all the warp loops on the potholder loom first.  Then you weave the horizontal loops according to the row instructions.

This design uses either 17 or 18 pegs and both versions of the pattern are included below. Using all 18 pegs creates a design that is slightly off-center. If you plan to seam the squares together as part of larger design we suggest using the 17-peg option.

You can find a detailed chart of this design at Piglets Potholders Patterns: Two-Two Twill Chevrons Chart 18-peg (Shared with permission under Creative Commons license CC-by-SA)  The 17-peg verion omits the last column and the bottom row of the chart.
