A Couple "Magic Ball" Hotpads

[Mom w/a Motif]

I did these yesterday. I had been wanting to make something with the ball of yarn I had been saving up for a while now. I was working on a pair of socks but I had to rip out everything I did and got disgusted; so I did these:

 

 

 

They are from a pattern at crochetpatterncentral, under potholders/hotpad; 'Double Thick Diagonal Potholders' from Mielke's Farm. I don't know if it is just my computer, but the link hasn't worked for it in a while.

 

Thanks for looking. :-)

Those are really nice. Time to use up the magic balls that I have been saving up. I have made that patterns a couple times but never thought of using my MB's for them. Thanks for the idea.

I love that potholder pattern! It's pretty much the only one that I use. I never thought of using the sock yarn for them, what neat colors!

i only use cotton yarn for these but they are great made with scraps because you can hide the knots on the inside and no one ever knows...

Those are really nice! Thanks much for showing them. I like the way you set the colors.

[Gardener]

I love this pattern. I've used it myself. Great Job! I love the colors!

Oh, thank you for giving me the idea of what to do with those small bits of cotton yarn I have leftover. Going to start some "magic balls" with them. And, I love this potholder pattern. I've been making them as gifts along with dishcloths of the same yarn to match for a while now.

Usually I only use cotton for hotpads, too. I will do them with acrylic, though; sometimes. As long as you're not using them to take anything out of the oven with, I guess it's okay.

Good idea for use of scrap yarn!

[morehotcoffee]

That pattern is perfect for all those colors. Thanks for the idea, I have a ton of little bits of cotton that I just can't bear to throw away!

I was just thinking the same thing - this project is perfect for scraps, because you don't even have to work in the ends! Just tie tight knots and make sure the tails are inside the pad. Great!

 

I've made these pads out of Sugar-n-Cream Twists, and I use them all the time. It's a simple pattern that gives wonderful results.

 

Your magic ball creations are very nice!
