This is a fun holiday accessory!

You will need three colors of yarn -- MC (110 yds) CC1 (75yds) and CC2 (75yds)
Knit with bulky wool yarns, the bowl felts up nicely. The top half of the bowl is folded to the inside, to give stability to the bowl … allowing it to stand-up even when empty of holiday decorations, treats, or a batch of scented-pinecones. Knit in the round, this one goes together quickly!

I’ve included two bonus charts – one snowflake and one reindeer so you can make other bowls, too!

Sample was knit using Knit Picks Cadena (70%wool, 30%alpaca):
cranberry, blue (admiral) and leaf (green)
