What You Can Do
Potholder Studio gives you a visual canvas for designing woven potholder patterns before you pick up a single loop.
Visual Pattern Designer
Build your pattern on a grid that mirrors the over-under weave of a real potholder loom.
Color Palette Tools
Choose loop colors and see exactly how your finished potholder will look.
Free for Mac
No subscription, no sign-in. Just download and start designing.
