Here is another project where I set out to make something and ended up with something else. I had originally meant to make this little bowl to fit a little, plastic shot glass I found at the party store. When I finished it, I saw that it would be really hard to stretch it over the glass until the stiffener dried. So I set it down while I thought about it.
I looked at it again, and saw that it was cute just sitting there, so I decided against the shot glass and instead threaded some wide ribbon through it. It’s a great size for some candies.
This is a beginner pattern and requires only one shuttle.
I used Lizbeth size 20 thread color white.
