Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight cotton yarn
• Needles: US 10 (6mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 20 stitches onto your US 10 (6mm) knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement while knitting.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This will create the first row of your fabric.
3. Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a contrasting texture to the first row.
4. Row 3: Begin the ribbing pattern. *Knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches.* Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row.
5. Row 4: Continue the ribbing pattern. *Purl 2 stitches, then knit 2 stitches.* Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row.
6. Repeat Rows 3-4: Continue to repeat Rows 3 and 4 until your piece measures 8 inches in length. This will create a textured, ribbed effect that is both stylish and functional.
7. Bind Off: Once your piece measures 8 inches, bind off all stitches. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
8. Form the Tube: Fold the knitted piece in half lengthwise. Make sure the right sides are facing each other. Sew the long edges together using a whip stitch or your preferred sewing method to form a tube.
9. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your knitting. This will give your pot handle cover a clean and polished look.
