Cast Iron Skillet Handle Cover (Free Pattern)

Worsted weight cotton or wool yarn

Size I hook

I don't recommend acrylic yarn as it is more flammable. I made the first few with acrylic because I happened to have the scrap yarn in the colors I wanted in my stash. 

Remove before using skillet in the oven.

Hold 2 strands of yarn together throughout

Finish off.

I'd love to see your pictures if you make some of these. I've had lots of questions on how well these protect. I have had no problems with using those made with 100% cotton. Acrylic is just a bad idea for this project!
