Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky wool yarn in peach and green
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the foundation of your bowl.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. This means you will work 2 single crochet in each of the 6 stitches from Round 1. You should have a total of 12 single crochet at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will increase the stitch count to 18 single crochet.
5. Round 4: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch.* Continue this pattern around. Your total should now be 24 single crochet.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner until the base of your bowl measures approximately 6 inches in diameter. This may take a few more rounds, depending on your tension.
7. Work Even: Once the base is the desired size, work even in single crochet for 6 rounds. This will form the sides of your bowl.
8. Textured Edge: Switch to working in back loop only (BLO) for an additional 4 rounds. This technique will create a lovely ribbed texture on the edge of your bowl.
9. Finish Off: Once you have completed the 4 rounds in BLO, fasten off your yarn. Use your scissors to cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it.
10. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends to ensure your bowl is neat and tidy.
11. Felt the Bowl: To felt your bowl, wash it in hot water. You can do this by hand or in a washing machine on a hot cycle. Shape the bowl while it is wet to achieve your desired form. Allow it to dry completely.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own chunky crochet felted bowl. These bowls are perfect for storing yarn, trinkets, or any other items you want to keep organized. Enjoy your new handmade home decor!
