Though it is a good way to use up past it knitted jersey fabric, cutting into strips and wrapping round and round as a base.

My Auntie Doreen crocheted it together for me! I haven't thought about that for years - we knitted a kettle holder the next year - two squares with Auntie Doreen to the rescue with the crochet hook to join them! In those days kettles and pans were boiled on the hob and did not have insulated handles so to pick them up you needed a kettle holder! My Granny kept a kettle on a swee over the coal fire and had a kettle holder hanging by the fireside. What a tumble of memories - thank you! :)]]> Unknown user https://www.snapdragonlife.com/news/blog/making-a-knitted-coat-hanger/#comment744 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 18:58:36 +0000 https://www.snapdragonlife.com/news/blog/making-a-knitted-coat-hanger/#comment742 Unknown user https://www.snapdragonlife.com/news/blog/making-a-knitted-coat-hanger/#comment742 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 15:09:08 +0100 https://www.snapdragonlife.com/news/blog/making-a-knitted-coat-hanger/#comment553 Unknown user https://www.snapdragonlife.com/news/blog/making-a-knitted-coat-hanger/#comment553 Tue, 12 Jan 2021 12:00:53 +0000 https://www.snapdragonlife.com/news/blog/making-a-knitted-coat-hanger/#comment531 Unknown user https://www.snapdragonlife.com/news/blog/making-a-knitted-coat-hanger/#comment531 Sat, 27 Jun 2020 08:47:41 +0100
