This cheerful watermelon bowl cozy is perfect for summer picnics, barbecues, and 4th of July celebrations! Keep your hands safe from hot bowls straight out of the microwave — or from a frosty bowl of cold ice cream. It’s functional, fun, and guaranteed to get compliments at the table.

Made with 100% cotton yarn, the cozy is microwave-safe and fits bowls approximately 6″ diameter at the top, 3½” at the bottom, and 2″ high — though it accommodates many similar-sized bowls. Pattern includes skill level, materials, gauge, and full written instructions. PDF download.
