How to Crochet an Amazing Cotton Bowl Cozy- Free Pattern

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 and 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 the worry of burning your 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 sure this bowl cozy will be very popular this season, especially during the wintry seasons when the craft fairs are full in swing. They are very easy to make and and be made quickly. If you are selling at a craft fair, 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 sized bowls. Having used cotton yarn, it stretches 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 also very tiny bowls, but in the meantime, this bowl cozy fits bowls that are about 5 – 7 inches in diameter.

The entire pattern uses only 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 cannot guarantee that it will not burn in the microwave. Please always check with the 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.
