Felted bowl pattern with welt

Friday, October 26th, 2007

I am planning on putting up a pattern in the next couple of weeks for a felted bowl with a welt on the bottom. The felted bowls kind of annoy me when they wobble, so I think they welt will help.

Ruffled Felted Bowl Pattern
Actually, I’m not sure I’d call this a bowl if I’m being technical, as it looks a bit more like a vase, but it’s probably closer to a bowl than a vase. I’m using it to hold my reading glasses, so maybe it’s a holder. Anyway…

Materials
Size 11 circular or double-pointed […]
