In reply to Megan. Hi Megan, I'm so happy you like this idea. Unfortunately, I don't recall just how much yarn it takes to make one bowl. Several feet for sure. If you can pick a bunch of yarn up at a thrift shop, you can buy quite a bit for the fraction of the price of buying new. That's where I get all of the yarn for our daycare crafts. You might try making just one bowl as a trial, and then take it apart and measure how much you used to get an idea of how much you'll need for your group.

About how much yarn do you think you use for this project? I’d like to provide it as a take & make for my adult library patrons, but I would need to know how much yarn to prep.

In reply to Miki Matsumoto. Yes, I specified that because it is important that it's an odd number. If it's not, you won't get the proper weave effect.

Does it need to be and odd number of markings on the plate for step 1?

I love how colorful these turned out!

Weaving crafts like this are so beneficial to young kids with working on hand strength and coordination.
