I had a bag of partial skeins of Como, left over from a bunch of Mobius Cowls I made over a year ago. I decided to use the left-overs to make felted bowls. The small ones are the cutest. I dried them over custard cups to shape them.
Pattern for small bowls:
Cast on 32 sts, join in round.
Knit for 2.5”
Decrease:
(Knit 6, K2tog) 4 times
Knit 1 round
(Knit 5, K2 tog) 4 times
Knit 1 round
(Knit 4, K2 tog) 4 times
Knit 1 round
(Knit 3, K2 tog) 4 times
Knit 1 round
(Knit 2, K2tog) 4 times
Break yarn, thread yarn on a tapestry needle, and go through the 12 remaining sts. Remove the needle, and pull the yarn tight. Securely fasten it on the inside.
Felt in the washing machine with hot water, lots of agitation.
Put over an upside down custard cup to dry.
