[...] Heavy Duty Designs with Alice*Thelma This felting pattern is actually four nesting bowls so you get a pattern for four different bowl sizes, or you can make them all! [...]

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!!

Hi! I was trying out your felting bowls pattern… I’m very new to felting, but I am having trouble getting it to felt. I have washed it in hot water with detergent. I put them in a bag with a pair of jeans in the wash, but they didn’t felt. So I tried drying them in the dryer, to see if that would help at all, and it did some, although I’m not sure if I’ve messed up the shape now. Even still with that, they didn’t felt much though. You can still see the knit and put a finger through. It’s not bowl shaped yet. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am really confused about the dpn. R your knitting these like a large i-cord. I tried this last night and it does not seem to look right. I am new to dpn and I guess do not understand the terminology. Also the decreasing, I am just confused but would love to learn if someone will help.

I think you can stay with the same size needle. Experiment! Different needle and yarn combinations yield different results. I can’t wait to see them when they’re finished!

I’m wondering if I can use a chunky/bulky weight yarn to make these bowls. And then if I do would I have to go up a size or two with the needle size?

Thanks, I can’t wait to get started!
