I have been doing locker hooking for two yrs, my favorite projects are hot pads 9×8 inches I’ve made 40 of them! I just completed a 24×35 rug in multiple colors,very fun! I have used graph paper to create patterns, hearts, trees, apples, the possibilties are unlimited! I prefer cottons for the hot pads as other fabrics may scorch when something hot from the stove is placed on them. The rugs work well with wool, denim, and flannels as they are stronger fabrics. I wash them in cold water and line dry them. I hope this is of help to those that want to try Locker Hooking, it’s fun and portable for those long road trips!!

I would really like to do this to make a Nintendo Controller rug for our spare bathroom. Do you know how to make patterns?

It is a kind knit fabric that many use it to make T-shirt, a polyester material and not a cotton material.

Hi.. I recently found your website and I think it is really cool.. I really love this rug and would like to try making it. You have mentioned that you’ve used poly jersey interlock fabric. I’m not familiar with fabrics and tried searching on internet but not able to find out much. I live in Los Anelges, CA area. Would you be able to let me know where I would be able to get this fabric kind of fabric from? Thanks in advance.

It is all depends on the thickness of your t-shirt. T-shirt should be great for looker hooking
As for the width of the strip, you can refer to the Basic Preparation post. Scroll down until you see “Prepare the fabric strips” section.
