Microwavable Cotton Bowl Cozy – Free Crochet Pattern

This post includes affiliate links.

After I sewed my first Microwavable Bowl Cozy many years ago, I knew I had to create a crochet version as well. This free crochet pattern uses cotton yarn as that is the only fabric that can safely be used in a microwave.

You will finally be able to enjoy your soups, stews or anything else without having burned hands or might even have dropped the hot bowl as you tried to remove to from the microwave.

In fact, I use this cotton bowl cozy even when I made a fresh hot soup that I added to a bowl to eat it. Naturally, the bowl gets hot as well, so when I sit on my sofa trying to enjoy my hot soup I am protected from the heat using this bowl cozy.

I am pretty such this bowl cozy will be very popular this season, especially the warm wintery seasons when the craft fairs are full in swing. If you make lots of them; and they are very fast to make too, you can properly sell lots of them. Be sure to have some hot chili there to demonstrate that the bowl cozy will be a protector.

This pattern is designed such that it can fit multiple different bowls. Having used cotton yarn, it stretched out a bit and allows for different sized bowls to fit in it. In the near future I will create a pattern for larger and very tiny bowls, but in the meantime, this bowl cozy fits bowls that are about 5 inches in diameter (properly up to 6 or 7 inches also, as well as smaller).

The entire pattern only uses single crochet stitches and chains, which therefore makes this pattern perfect for any level of crochet expertise. Even if you just learned how to crochet a single crochet and know how to increase, you will be able to make this beginner friendly bowl cozy pattern.
