The Crochet Pattern for the Bowl made of Tarn

 is a really super easy Pattern.
Did you purchase some of the Tarn or T- Shirt yarn when it was on sale From Lion Brand.
I did, and decided to update this pattern.

I Love it Crocheted up with the Fettuccini Yarn!

This Yarn makes a sturdy bowl that is perfect for using
 as a yarn bowl.

I ordered an assortment of of The T - Shirt Yarn.

Some of the Tarn varies in size and you can have a bowl
 that is a little smaller or bigger.

This Bow can be used for lots of different things,
 but I think it is a great travel yarn bowl. 
You can fold it up and put it in your yarn bag, 
and pull it out when you need it.

Learning How to make T-Shirt yarn or "Tarn"

I wanted to learn how to make
 T-shirt Yarn or "Tarn" 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I made a Video, which you can see 

At This LINK

What You need:

 Old T-Shirts - washed and dried

A Good Pair of Fabric Scissors

A Tape measure if you want to measure your strips

Let's Get started!

The first thing I did was raid my husbands

 T-shirt drawer. Once I picked the colors I wanted,

I laid the it on the counter  flat, and cut  the hem off

and cut  across the chest, right under the sleeves,

I The turned it side ways so the folds were on the top and bottom.

 I folded the Top down about 2 inches. 

 (Now, I did not measure anything,

I eyeballed it all.)

 I cut from bottom to top  about 1 inch strips,

stopping short of the fold. I did this all the way across the the T-Shirt.

I  opened the end of the T-shirt the  I did not cut, and make a cut 

from the first, strip to the next strip. It will be  a slanted cut.

I was struggling a little with cutting the next slanted cuts,

so I got out my big tea pitcher, and laid it the T-Shirt on top.

 This really helped a lot.

As I cut each strip, I unwound it and let it drape to the floor.

Isn't it pretty?

Once I had the "Tarn" all cut, It need to be stretched to look like yarn.

I gently pulled on the yarn to get it to stretch,

but not to hard or it will break.

I ended up making three different colors. I had to stop,

 because all the cutting was rubbing a blister on my finger.

(yes, I am a big baby!)

With Tarn I made this yarn Bowl.

I think is is lovely.
