This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download

For this pattern I used:

Yarn & Amounts: One 50g ball of Rico Creative Cotton Aran (100% cotton, 85m/93yds).
OR
One 50g ball of Three Bears Affection Cotton Aran (100% cotton, 85m/93yds).

Hook: 4.5mm.

Measurements: my bowls measured approx. 8cm (base) and approx. 14cm high (before being folded over)

My design ideas and advice: I designed this because a new crocheter asked me how to create a crochet bowl. When I explained how simple it was, she still looked confused and asked me to write it down.
And that’s how this pattern began.

I named the pattern Simbo after one of the Solomon Islands where the villagers (traditionally the women) have been handcrafting wooden bowls for hundreds of years.
