Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky wool yarn in red, orange, and cream
• Hook: Size L (8.0 mm) crochet hook
• Other Supplies: Scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then insert your hook through the loop and pull up a loop of yarn.
   • Chain 1 to secure the ring.
2. Work 6 Single Crochet (sc) into the Ring:
   • Insert your hook into the magic ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook).
   • Yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook. This completes one single crochet.
   • Repeat this step until you have 6 single crochets in the ring.
3. Increase Each Stitch Around:
   • For the next round, you will increase each stitch. Work 2 single crochets into each of the 6 stitches from the previous round (total of 12 sc).
4. Continue Increasing Evenly:
   • For the next round, work 1 sc in the first stitch, then 2 sc in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around (total of 18 sc).
   • Continue this pattern, increasing evenly until the base of your bowl reaches the desired size:
   • 24 sc for a small bowl
   • 36 sc for a medium bowl
   • 48 sc for a large bowl
5. Work Even Rounds in Back Loop Only:
   • Now, switch to working in the back loop only to create the ribbed texture.
   • Maintain the stitch count (e.g., if you have 36 stitches, continue to work 36 sc in each round).
6. Continue Until Desired Height:
   • Keep crocheting in the back loop until your bowl reaches the desired height. This could be anywhere from 4 to 8 inches, depending on your preference.
7. Finish with a Slip Stitch:
   • To finish, make a slip stitch in the next stitch to secure your work.
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in, and pull the yarn through the loop to secure it.
8. Weave in Ends:
   • Using a yarn needle, weave in any loose ends to tidy up your bowl.
9. Felt the Bowls:
   • To felt your bowls, wash them in hot water. You can do this by placing them in a washing machine on a hot cycle or hand washing them.
   • While the bowls are wet, shape them into your desired form.
   • Allow them to dry completely before using.

Now you have your very own vibrant felted crochet bowls! Enjoy using them to organize your space or as beautiful decorative pieces. Happy crocheting!
