This is one of those fun recycle projects to repurpose those small plastic bowls that you get with frozen yogurt, or acai bowls. You can use any bowl or pot that you have on hand. These are made in only six quick Rounds using the Red Heart Nylon #18 thread.
Some of the supplies I used are in these two photos, above and below. The beads are optional but add a fun element. I had these beads leftover from my Beach Day Tote Bag crochet pattern a few years ago.
