Four-color potholder pattern

The other day, I found myself with little bags of random loops, not enough to make a 2- or 3-color pattern. I was tempted to order more loops, but then I figured I should try to come up with a potholder using these leftover loops.

I used the three-layer warping technique using four colors, as shown in a YouTube video by Piglet Evans, which I also described in a previous post.

I started (and unraveled) a few potholders until I ended up with a color combo I liked: spice, turquoise, yellow, and winter white. I managed to have just enough loops to make a potholder.

This isn't a difficult technique. In a way, it's easier than other methods. You attach the first set of loops to pegs on one side of the loom, skipping every other peg, then turn the loom, attach another set of loops, and turn again, attaching the third color. You only weave in the last color. This technique of alternating colors and skipping rows creates a consistent weave.
