Small Yarn Bowl

Shouldn't a yarn bowl be made of yarn? These adorable little yarn bowls use very little yarn and take very little time to make. They are great gifts for fellow knitters -- or for yourself!
The bowls are designed to fit one to two skeins of yarn. The yarn can be pulled out of the top or through the small opening made by the clasp. Because the clasp opens, yarn can be easily changed without cutting.
The pattern has two options, the first and slightly larger of the two, is made from one skein of Wool of the Andes Bulky yarn. The second is made from two skeins of Wool of the Andes worsted with the two strands held together.
The bowls are made from the bottom up, all in one piece with no seaming. They are felted to make them stronger and more stable.
They are two options for closures. First, buy a metal clasp and sew on after felting. Second, I include instructions for creating an I-cord clasp with two button. Both are functionally the same.
The pattern includes good instructions for felting.
