Where can I buy cardboard with the metal edge circles to put in a crocheted cover to make a hot plate?
John D M BYou put the crocheted cover Cover Crochet over the cardboard thing, put it on your TABLE, and put a hot pan on it, so the table isn't damaged. These things have been around for longer than you've been around. The cover I have was made by my great grandma, but I can't find the insert part. Geez, I'm not stupid!

How wonderful you’re learning how to crochet!
I suggest you have someone watch you crochet and make some notes on your technique:1. If you are a “yanker” A “yanker” is someone who pulls/yanks on the tension after a given stitch is created. When this happens, the stitch becomes “short changed/squat.”2. If you are a “rider” or a “lifter” A “rider” is a someone who creates their stitches close to their work … like having the hook ride (touch constantly) the top of, or the side of the previous rows’ stitches. This will create “squat/short” stitches. A “lifter” is someone who will lift that anchoring loop up high (the video clips on anniesattic.com are a great reference) — this creates tall stitches. The higher you pull the anchoring loop up, the longer the stitch will be. (the “anchoring” loop is the loop you pull up after inserting the hook into a given stitch)3. If you’re properly yarning over from the back of the hook to the front. If you are yarning over from front to back, then you’re not giving the stitch it’s “full due” of fiber. This will create slightly smaller stitches.and finally,4. Check to see where on the hook you’re making your stitches. Are you creating them on the throat of the hook, or pushing the loops onto the body? If the stitches are created around the throat — you guessed it! You’re short changing your stitches. Be sure all your yarn overs/loops are around the body of the hook; if you’re allowing many loops on the hook at one time, invest in a hook that has a longer body for a more even stitch.The next step, after determining the above, is to examine your swatch. It is more important to meet the stitch gauge rather than the row gauge (because you can always add on more rows as needed). If you cannot meet the gauge with the recommended hook, bump up your hook by a size or two and swatch again. Those swatches are great learning tools!

Two ways to do this:1. Look online for an easy doily pattern. There are tons of both knit and crochet patterns. Make it big enough to go around the doorknob with room for a “skirt”. Run a ribbon or yarn an inch or so in from the edge and cinch it up around the doorknob.2. Start a toe-up sock (also lots of free patterns online) and bind off after a few inches. You could use the ribbon/yarn cinch as above, or work the toe just to fit over the knob, then work a ribbing on a smaller needle with some decreases so it will fit snugly around (sort of like a really small beret).My mom used to have these around the house at Christmas. Just know that it’s really hard to open the door with one of those things on. The cover just spins around in your hand. But they look great!

What it means is to repeat row 5 7 times. If you break down the pattern it says 6 – 8 for small, the medium adds two rows and the large two more, the extra large two more than those.And when it comes to babies, the bigger the better cause they grow like weeds. Add a draw string at the waist and at both legs and if it seems too long for him weave a strip of yarn down from the top to bottom then back up with a row between on either side to shorten the piece. As he grows you can let our your side gathers till there no longer needed.Honestly I would make the extra large so he could use it longer. Give it a try and you will be amazed at the outcome.
