Snowbowl is knit in the round from rim to base. The texture is created by a mixture of slipped stitches, yarn overs and bobbles. Once completed the bowl is felted. The Snowbowl stitch pattern was inspired by the large snowflakes that gently descend when temperatures are near freezing. A perfect holiday gift when filled with some thoughtful additions- maybe a plant, maybe some knitting notions.
