*Basic Stitch­es**: The cozy pat­tern uses basic cro­chet stitch­es such as sin­gle cro­chet (sc), dou­ble cro­chet (dc), slip stitch (sl st), and mag­ic cir­cle (mag­ic ring).

**Bowl Sizes**: Adjust the cozy’s size to fit your needs. You can cre­ate small­er cozies for cere­al bowls and larg­er sizes for taller bowls.

**Cre­at­ing the Cozy**: Fol­low the cozy cro­chet pat­tern to cre­ate a func­tion­al and styl­ish bowl cov­er. The cot­ton fab­ric and bat­ting will pro­tect your hands from the bowl’s heat.

**Con­tin­u­ous Rounds**: Work in con­tin­u­ous rounds until the cozy size fits your bowl.

I cre­at­ed this cro­chet bowl cozy with an I hook and medi­um worsted yarn. This is a great way to place your bowls in the microwave. My bowl was 17 inch­es around. I rec­om­mend going up a hook size for a larg­er bowl and down a hook size for a small­er bowl. You will want a snug fit on your bowl. This is a cre­ative way not to get burned by a hot bowl!
