I designed the bowl and bag for KnitCrate, a fabulous monthly knitting subscription company. http://www.knitcrate.com/ Check them out if you have not heard of them! Each month you get a goody bag of yarn, patterns, notions and more!

For the pattern you need two highly contrasting colors. You need 2 skeins (440 yards) of the main color and 1 skein (220 yards) of the contrast color.

The worsted weight yarn is held double through out. If you choose to use bulky, cut the yardage in half. (Although I believe two strands of worsted weight held together actually felts better).

The color work is all done with slipped stitches. This is a very easy technique that will make your friends think you worked really hard! You only have to knit with one color per round.

The pattern is both charted and written.

If you originally received the pattern from KnitCrate please note that I inadvertently inserted the wrong chart for the Yarn Bowl. The written instructions were correct. I sincerely apologize for any confusion!
