Crochet Moss Stitch Bowl Cozy Pattern Overview

The Moss Stitch Bowl Cozy offers an elegant solution for keeping your soup warm while protecting your hands and surfaces. Made from 100% cotton yarn, this cozy is available in three sizes: small, medium, and serving bowl. Below is a detailed guide to help you crochet this practical kitchen accessory.

Step 1: Start with the Moss Stitch Square

• Form a Slip Knot: Begin by creating a slip knot on your hook.
• Chain Two: In the second chain from the hook, insert your hook, wrap the yarn around, pull up a loop, and complete a single crochet.
• Continue the Pattern: Chain 2 and create another single crochet in the same chain, then chain 1 to make a side space.
• Form the Corners: Repeat the pattern (single crochet, chain 2, single crochet, chain 1) twice more to create remaining corners.
• Finish the Round: Use a slip stitch to close the round, ensuring it remains untwisted.

Step 2: Begin the Shaping Rows

• Turn the Work: Turn the piece to position the yarn over the side space.
• Work the Side Space: Insert your hook into the side space, pull up a loop, and complete a single crochet, chain 1.
• Craft the Corners: For corners, continue with single crochet, chain 2, single crochet, chain 1.
• Change Colors: If desired, cut the yarn and add a new color to highlight the moss stitch’s beauty. Thread the yarn needle for neat finishing.

Step 3: Determine the Right-Side Orientation

• Identify the Correct Side: If you see two loops along the edge, it's the right side. Adjust to show only one loop if needed.
• Add Yarn: Reintroduce yarn by chaining with a double strand at the beginning if needed.

Step 4: Decrease and Shape the Cozy

• Start Decreasing: With an even number of spaces along the side, work down to the center, then decrease.
• Enhanced Single Crochet Two Together (ESC2Tog):
  • Insert hook in the first space, pull up a loop.
  • Yarn over, insert hook into the next space, pull up a loop.
  • Yarn over and pull through all four loops.
• Continue Pattern: Work single crochet, chain 1 in the other spaces until the next corner.

Step 5: Repeat Until Desired Size

• Adjust for Size: Continue the pattern and decrease when reaching the center of each side until the cozy fits your bowl.
• Finalize with Increase and Decrease Rounds: Alternate between moss stitch and decrease rows, paying attention to the even number of spaces.

Conclusion

Once your cozy reaches the desired size and fits your bowl snugly, you can fill the bowl and use it safely in the microwave. This project not only provides practicality but also allows personalization through color changes and size adjustments.
