These nesting felted bowls will help you organize your space and add a little yarn-love into your surroundings. This is the perfect project for those new to felting since the bowls do not need to end up a certain size. A felting pen allows you to add small lengths of yarn with precision to your project for extra personalization.

Finished Size
Bowls measure about 11 (18, 26)” in circumference before felting and 9 (12.75, 17)” after felting.

Gauge
Work the first 5 rnds of Large Bowl Directions, circle measures about 4” 10 cmin diameter.

Because the bowls will be felted, obtaining an exact gauge is not necessary for this project.

Materials

• Non-superwash, worsted weight, 100% wool yarn in 3 colors: 115 yards of color A (blue), 85 yards of color B (dark brown), 50 yards of color C (light golden brown)
• Size L (8.0 mm) crochet hook or size needed to obtain gauge
• Locking stitch markers
• Tapestry needle
• Pen-style felting tool

Notes
Some white or off-white wool yarns will not felt well.

Bowl is worked in the round from the center-bottom, out.

Decreases at the top edge keep bowl from stretching out of shape. Details are added later using a pen-style felting tool to attach strands of yarn to the bowl.
