Notes

1) If using Taiyo (the original yarn), one bowl can be made with a single skein.

2) Small and Medium bowls have wrong side of stitches on outside of bowl. Large bowl has right side of stitches on outside of bowl, for a slightly different look.

3) Stitch markers are used to indicate increase locations in the last rounds of the Medium and Large bowls. If you can “read” your stitches, you may not need to use the markers.
