potholder loops from yarn

There are several variations on the crochet chain that work a lot
like that to make thicker cords. As I recall, Elmore Leonard's book
from Annie's
Attic had several of those variations well illustrated.

I've got some crochet books coming from the library.

I don't quite associate Elmore Leonard's writing style with crochet
stitches.

For a potholder using just four chained loops from multicolored yarn
that gave a nice stained glass effect, see

Those are gorgeous!

Thank you.

I added another picture today.

Thank you. You've inspired me to try to find my old potholder loom.

Oops. The name is similar, but not the same guy. Now I'll have to dig out
the book to see what the name really is!

Whoa! That's real money! Mine is just a magazine-sized paperback.
