How to Crochet an Amazing Cotton Bowl Cozy- Free Pattern

Sharing is caring!

After I sewed my first Cotton Bowl Cozy many years ago, I knew I had to create a crochet version as well. This free crochet pattern uses cotton yarn as it will keep your hands safe when eating soups, chili or stew from a hot bowl. A video tutorial is now available also! Yay

You will finally be able to enjoy your soups, stews or anything else without having burned hands. In fact, I love eating my soups when sitting on the sofa while watching TV. Now I can do that easily without having to balance the bowl with towels between my legs.

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.

Be careful about the cotton though. I do not recommend to add the cozy to the microwave. I will not guaranty anything. Please always check with the yarn company of the yarn you want to use whether they are microwavable and safe to use. I will not take responsibility for any burns, pain, damages etc. as I just created the pattern for a cotton bowl cozy.
