Quick and Easy Crochet Yarn Bowl // Make your own yarn bowl // Ophelia Talks Crochet

[@OpheliaTalks]

I have honestly not stopped using mine since I made it!!! So useful! Hope you make lots and lots!! Anja x

[@sylviawatts4027]

What size pls

[@VictoriaEAC]

Thank you for another great tutorial. I used x 2 strands of v. thick yarn in my stash and a 6mm hook. Made a slightly larger version for larger balls. Looks rather lovely!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Wonderful! Anja x

[@trishrobbins9942]

Mine came out great. I slip stitched around the top edge to stiffen it. Perfect Christmas gift!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Good idea Trish, well done, Anja x

[@grandmasmagic3858]

I've been crocheting yarn bowls for a few years now...they're perfect for using up scrap yarn and can be made to hold a full cake or smaller for little odd balls..they can also be used to hold small projects and/or accessories...you can stick your hook through the yarn, stitch markers along the edge and sewing needles as well...

[@fiberfarmstead]

.. I'm going to do mine in 4 colors with a large hook. With four eyelets. North, white, cedar. East, yellow, sweetgrass. South, red, tobacco. West, black, sage. I think I'll make 4 pods.... Also, going to add a sweat lodge round rock in each, for a weight, for my December tribal/community youth workshop. That'll be a "talking circle". I'm so excited! ❤️

[@KrisCheyne]

This is the best crocheted yarn bowl, ever (it's collapsible and the reinforced holes are brilliant)! Thank you for sharing your pattern! Creating a single group of three strands is easy as I've done it many times when preparing to crochet or knit baskets and totes --I don't care for the tension of winders and prefer to handwind yarn balls. Besides, I plan to also try this pattern with a single strand of bulky coarse wool I've had for a while to see how that works out. This yarn bowl is also a thoughtful gift to make and give to a fellow fiber artist. So many possibilities!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Fantastic Kristine, glad you like it. Thank you, Anja x

[@luvtocraft]

I think this is so cute!!! It would even be nice just to display small balls of yarn from our stash. 😊

[@sterre4212]

Finished this yarn bowl just a minute ago as a present for my mum, and I'll definitely make one for myself too! It's very cute and practical, the tutorial is incredibly clear and easy to follow. Thanks!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thank you very much, I hope your mum loves it, Anja x

[@linejacke6570]

One of the best ideas I saw in decades! 🥰

[@brendavirgin201]

Thank you soooooo much i made one last night and it turned out . Im chuffed to bits im only learning yours is the only video tutorial for a basket i understood and that has turned out .

[@sandaramoore9660]

I’m in love with this and have taken a detour from my current project to make several. I ALWAYS take a project with me wherever I go to work on…in the car…husband drives. Dr office…anywhere!!! Working several scrap projects…this is perfect!!! Thank you so much…Happy thanksgiving and be safe everyone!!!❤

[@luvtocraft]

I really love that it can lay flat!!! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yep, quite the bonus eh!! Thank you, Anja x

[@peggyharwell3674]

This project us so adorable. I will be making one very soon. I, however, will cut a small round out of a plastic sheet, like a small donut, and place that over the hole opening and stitch or crochet around it to finish off the holes.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Neat idea Peggy, enjoy, Anja x

[@melissastewart5838]

This one reminds me of the warbler from adventure time!! It's cute, my favorite material to make things like this is wool, it works up more stiffly to make a more solid wall.

[@dianesharpe1405]

I Love This Yarn Bowl. Thank You.

[@OpheliaTalks]

You're very welcome Diane, enjoy, Anja x

[@mammaluna5249]

Fantastic project dear Anja! Have you an idea of the total weight of the ball? Thank you very much and many congratulations. Hugs from Italy 🇮🇹🤩💞. Rita

[@lindapb6529]

Useful for leftover yarn! This is something I’ll definitely use: I’ve always got more than one project going at a time and use ugly plastic bags to hold them. The yarn balls roll out and get tangled - but These are really pretty! Thank you :^)

[@OpheliaTalks]

Great news Linda, enjoy your crochet, Anja x

[@TaraSykes3]

Thank you for sharing such a useful yarn bowl. see a lot of them in my future. I always ball my yarn, I prefer working from balls than cakes. Great tutorial. ☺

[@OpheliaTalks]

You are so welcome B! Anja x

[@sarahspicer1964]

3 strands of 8 ply + 4mm needle = great stash buster!😊

[@OpheliaTalks]

Sounds great Sarah, would love to see that one! Anja x

[@lindahamilton3520]

This is such a fantastic idea! When I go somewhere I have to have my balls of yarn in the bag are in my lap and they roll out of my lap across the floor. It's very exasperating. Thank you I'm going to start on one immediately

[@OpheliaTalks]

Great news Linda, enjoy your crochet, Anja x

[@brendavirgin201]

Ohhhhh love it . Im learning myself to crochet .Thank you one of the easiest to understand crochet bowls ive seen. Going to have to have a go cause i need one to stop my yarn ending up on floor .lol . Ill be ok as long as my cat lola doesnt nick it for a cat bed she loves playing with my yarn while im trying to crochet lol.

[@anitadeclerck6000]

[@jeanjones4964]

Brilliant idea. Unfortunately I just bought a wooden one but I will be making several of these. Thank you.

[@carmeneverestwahl4853]

I love this project for Christmas gifts - I'm going to pop in a few balls of wool in each bowl. I made two handles since I made a few extra rounds in the bottom and it seems to balance the bowls out nicely. Thank you for the fabulous tutorial 💚🌼🌿

[@OpheliaTalks]

Great idea Carmen, thank you for watching, Anja x

[@justagramma]

It's very nice and a great idea but for those of us that don't have a yarn winder, using three strands together is a gigantic pain

[@karenboehlert7862]

You do an excellent tutorial!! You are so clear and complete in your instruction. I usually knit, but I have to make this now. 😊 Thank you! ❤

[@IngridsInspirations]

Oh my hat! I have such a multitude of tiny little balls of leftover yarn....all the colour together reminds me of Liquorice All Sort sweets ☺️, I'm going to cake them in to an "All sorts" cake and have a yarn bowl at the end of it! haha! Excellent idea, thank you so much Anja 💓 xx

I received a nice ceramic yarn bowl for Christmas. I make use of it at home. And you’re right, it isn’t convenient traveling with it or transporting it. I am afraid it will break. Thank you for the tutorial on this collapsible one!

I’m starting one today but will try with magic circle unless there is a reason to not use a magic circle? I live in a motorhome and space is tight so i always look at the wood and metal yarn bowls no ceramic it could break but never buy one. This is a deal breaker, very excited to have one i can stash away❤

[@OpheliaTalks]

Oh that's great, no, there's no reason not to start with a MC, if that's your preferred start, go ahead, Anja x

[@Momma_Tomma]

Nice.

[@Ionabrodie69]

It looks great.. but once you put your strand through the hole, it has to stay there until you’re finished with that yarn… then it’s attatched to your project ..most yarn bowls have a notch so you can remove the yarn easily.. is it possible to make a version like that…..? genuine question not a criticism 😊❤

[@OpheliaTalks]

Good point, but in reality, with crochet that's going to be extremely difficult, I will however look into it! Anja x

[@Ionabrodie69]

@@OpheliaTalks Thats also a good point😂 I wonder if the yarn could be slotted through the clip, then when you’re finished with that colour / type you could just open the clip .. 🤷‍♀️🤣

[@kellykreig5510]

Anya, this looks perfect! May I ask if you could use chunky yarn instead of 3 strands of the worsted?

Question: Could I use thicker yarn instead of 3 strands? Thank you!!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes of course you can, I was just using up scraps! Anja x

[@Ionabrodie69]

Hi Anja ..Could this be made with a thicker weight yarn to negate the need to have multiple strands..? ( I don’t have a yarn winder ) and if so would Aran weight be sufficient.. ? Thank you..😊

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes you can try Aran weight, but to make it sturdier I would suggest a smaller than recommended hook size! Good luck, Anja x

@@OpheliaTalks Thank you. I will try that.. I did try to use three strands attatched to the balls .NOT GOOD. 😳🥴😂..
