Recipe:
also be used as a recipe if you don't want them exactly the same size/shape ke it larger: Add 1 sc between each increase for each new row in the flat circ Decreases: If you don't want it to decrease in the top and instead keep it flat, end it before the increases. Handle: If you want to have a handle, ch more than 4 and sl st in the opposite side. Get rid of the handle altogether if you want it to! This could even be adapted to a bag, if you really were so inclined. Have fun!
