You-Name-Its: Double Knit Hot Pads, Bibs, Squares and Rectangles is also available in my etsy shop for an accessible option. This “multi-pattern” includes step by step tutorials for the Double Knit Ribbing Stitch, Double 8 Cast-on, Double Sided Knitted Cast-off and a two peg i-cord for a double rake loom. Directions for a 6 inch Hot Pad as well as for a Baby Bib are included. The bib has options for i-cord ties or a pull over strap.

Additionally, cast on and row counts for other projects using the Double Knit Ribbing stitch are given:

4 inch coasters
10 inch large hot pads
12 by 16 inch placemat
12 by 18 inch placemat
14 by 60 inch table runner

Loom: All projects call for a double rake loom in 3/8 inch small gauge. The Hot Pads use 22 peg pairs. The Bib uses 28 peg pairs. Settings for the larger projects are given in the pattern, with the largest number of peg pairs being 50. Spacing between the two rails is 1cm.

Yarn: All projects use worsted weight yarn. The Scheepes recommended above is classified as an Aran, but had the same gauge as the Lily Cotton. It is much softer to knit with and created a nice, durable fabric.

This is an accessible pattern. It is written in all black text, single columns, 24 point Arial font, with no italics. All directions are fully written out with no abbreviations or charts. The pattern will read clearly with screen reader software and has been tested with screen reader software. Photos are included with alt text, but all information in the photos is fully written out in text directions.
