How to Make the Bear Soup Bowl Cozy – Free Crochet Pattern
I may just be the mother of the world’s pickiest eater! Pretty much the only thing she eats from a bowl is cereal, so I made her this adorable Bear Soup Bowl Cozy in hopes that fun soup bowl cozies would entice her to try more foods!

It may be a long shot, but anything that can make eating more fun is helpful when someone has sensory issues and food anxiety (oh, did I mention she gets this picky eater thing from me?)
However, even I ate things like spaghetti-o’s and chicken noodle soup, my daughter won’t touch them!
That’s another thing that makes this Bear Soup Bowl Cozy cool: it can be used for anything you use a bowl for, including cereal and even ice cream!

Notes
- This pattern is worked with double strands.
- This pattern is worked from the bottom-up in the round. Only join where indicated.
- Beginning chains do not count as stitches.
- Optional: For deeper bowls, continue working the bottom section until it matches the height of your bowl. This is not necessary as the cozy will still cover the majority of the bowl, but is an option if you want the bowl completely covered.
- If you have trouble keeping stitches tight, go down to a J/10/6.00mm Crochet Hook.

I loved this pattern, it was super easy to read and follow! I actually used this pattern but switched it up to look like a frog.
