Can Beginners Try This Project?
This Halloween candy bowl pattern might be a little tricky for beginners. It’s worked with super bulky yarn that might be hard to handle for those with no experience.
The bowl tentacles are constructed from two almost identical panels that you will set one over the other and sew together. To make it work, should be able to keep your tension consistent.
Choosing Yarn That Holds Its Shape
One thing is for sure – we don’t want a bowl whose sides tip over, because then all of its contents will spill out. To make sure it holds its shape well, the designer recommends using super bulky yarn and a 7 mm crochet hook. A great option is Bernat Blanket, a thick polyester yarn with a soft chenille texture.
The sample features a mix of blue and white, but you go for even more obvious Halloween shade combinations like orange and white or green and black.
Can I Make the Tentacle Bowl Larger?
The finished candy bowl measures approximately 10 inches across, excluding the tentacles. This makes it perfect for holding an array of spooky treats. Would you like to make it bigger so it could fit even more delicious treats? You can do so by using a bigger hook.
