A sturdy bowl

One thing about being in recovery and feeling really good.  I've done more crochet in the past few days than I have been able to, in ages.

I have mill end cotton yarn in two colours right now.  After whipping up a little critter last night, I decided to make a bowl.  Two strands of yarn and a 6mm hook, working only in sc, makes for a sturdy little bowl.

This was worked in a spiral, starting with a flat disc until it was as wide as I wanted.  I worked the sides straight for a few rounds, then made two decreases, opposite each other, before continuing without anymore changes.

To reinforce the edge, I working one last sc round over the previous round to encase it.  At the end of the round, I continued,  working slip stitches under the top V loops of the last sc round.  The slip stitches should reduce any stretching and help maintain a sturdy edge that shouldn't flop around much at all.

I am happy with it.
