*Mate­ri­als Need­ed**: To cre­ate a cozy cro­chet pat­tern, you’ll need cot­ton or acrylic yarn in var­i­ous col­ors. Make sure to use 100% cot­ton yarn for a microwav­able bowl. Addi­tion­al­ly, you’ll need an I hook.

*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! I loved how this free cro­chet pat­tern for bowl cozies. 

I googled that yarn is microwave-safe! 

Abbre­vi­a­tions:

ch=chain

sl st=slip stitch

dc=double cro­chet

I used a cere­al bowl as a hook for a 17–18-inch bowl, up or down on the hook if it was small­er or big­ger. 

I hook 

Rnd 1: chain 3, work dc in the first chain, work 8 more dc, for a total of 10(the chain 3 counts as dc), sl st

Rnd 2: ch 3, dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in each stitch around, sl st

Rnd 3: ch 3, *work 2 dc in the next stitch, dc in the next *Repeat around, sl st

Rnd 4: ch 3, *dc in the next stitch, work 2 dc in the next stitch, *Repeat around, sl st

Rnds 5–7: ch 3, *dc in each stitch around, sl st

Rnd 8: sl st in a new stripe, dc in each stitch around, sl st

Rnds 9–10: or desired length, all depends on how big your bowl is, ch 3, *dc in each stitch around, sl st

Fas­ten off. Weave in your ends. I hope you enjoyed this free cro­chet pat­tern for bowl cozies.
