Materials:

Worsted weight cotton yarn (about 200 yards total in two colors: white and orange)
Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)
Stitch marker (optional)

Gauge:

For this project, aim for 12 single crochets (sc) and 14 rows equals 4 inches (10 cm) in a relaxed state. To check your gauge, work a small swatch of 20 stitches and 20 rows in single crochet. If your gauge is tight, go up a hook size; if it’s too loose, go down a hook size.

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
st(s): stitch(es)
inc: increase (2 sc in the same stitch)

Instructions:

1. Starting the Bowl: Begin with the white yarn. Make a slip knot and chain 4. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring.

6. Rounds 5-10: Work 1 sc in each stitch around (24 stitches) for 6 rounds.

7. Color Change: After completing Round 10, switch to the orange yarn. Do not cut the white yarn; it will be used later.

8. Rounds 11-15: Work 1 sc in each stitch around (24 stitches) for 5 rounds.

9. Shaping the Sides: Round 16: *1 sc in the next 2 stitches, inc in the next stitch; repeat from * around (30 stitches).

10. Rounds 17-20: Work 1 sc in each stitch around (30 stitches) for 4 rounds.
