As I said the other day, these were a pretty fast gift to make.<\/p>\n

The tutorial<\/a> is one page of instructions plus the template for the darts. The tutorial makes total sense and isn’t difficult or complicated. I wanted to see what other tutorials were available so I put “bowl cozy tutorial” into Duck Duck Go (a search engine that doesn’t track your movements) and got a number of blog posts and videos.<\/p>\n

Crafty Gemini has a video tutorial<\/a> for a more more petal shaped cozy. The Caffeinated Quilter tutorial<\/a> has thinner triangles for darts and the back is pulled around the front for a border\/binding. Tara Reed’s blog post tutorial<\/a> reminds us we can use orphan blocks or ‘made’ fabric as parts for the bowl cozy.<\/p>\n

One reason I like this pattern is because of the angle of the darts. It would fit one of my soup type bowls really well. We have some larger bowls that we use for chunky dinner (not leftover) soups and stews. Those might fit better in a larger cozy with steeper sides. The good thing about this pattern is that you can adjust it and use the same directions. They only thing would be to keep the angles of the triangles consistent.<\/p>\n

I think you could also adjust the shape of the corners to make different looks.<\/p>\n

I am trying to decide if I want to make a bunch of these for DH’s cousins and siblings. While I can make them quickly, I would still have to pick out fabric. That takes time just because of the logistics. As well, most people won’t know what they are, so I would have to make a little tag to let people know how to use them. I also think one is kind of a mean gift. What happens if one gets dirty? I would want to make two for each family. I suppose I could start with one and see how things go. I’ll have to talk to DH and see what his thoughts are.<\/p>\n

Try one out. Even if you decide not to make them as gifts, you will have something useful for your kitchen.<\/p>\n
