Did anyone else have trouble with the lip curling? I thought the felting would magically straighten it out, but it just permanently felted it all rolled. Maybe I need to rib the beginning few rows….?

I had the same thing happen with my first felting project and found out I was using washable wool which will NOT felt. Basically felting is shrinking the knitted piece so you no longer see the stitches. Try it again but avoid any yarn that says it’s washable (like WoolEase).

If you still have trouble, try increasing your water temperature a couple of degrees and wash again. I always add a teaspoon or two of a liquid baby detergent to the washing machine too.

I just completed a set of 6 rainbow nesting bowls that I donated to my son’s waldorf preschool silent auction. A photo is posted on my ravelery site (which I am justing learning how to use) I’m unsure how to tell you to find them- my ravelry name is nmbonomo. I linked it to this pattern. let me know if there is a better way to share it. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!

Yes just keep following the instructions even tho they might seem a little crazy. Before felting it will look pointy but after felting it flattens out. Try it and let me know how it goes. ~Chris

I am having the same problem as nancy oct 31. On certain row of the decrease you’re left with an extra stitch on the needle. Do you keep on following the instructions and not worry about which needles the stitches are on. I completed the pattern and then ripped it out because it looked like a pointed hat and I think I made a mistake.

I just started knitting in December with the goal of doing felted bowls. I have made a dozen off your pattern and they are fab. I use Paton’s or Cascade 220 double stranded. Bowls felt up well and are sturdy. Thank you!!
