Crochet a carrier for a lawn bowl from 4-ply yarn.

Lawn bowls are available in sizes from 11.6 cm to 13.1 cm. The conversion of these dimensions to inches is 4.6 inches to 5.2 inches. The difference in sizes allows the lawn bowl enthusiast the option of several size bowls to use in the gaming process. Crochet a carrier or pocket for an individual lawn bowl in approximately one hour. Sew the individual pockets together to create a multiple lawn bowl carrier.
