Nesting Bowl Trio - Free!

I'm not going to lie: I *love* finding a free crochet pattern. And since I love free patterns so much, and since I write patterns, I'm compelled to offer the free pattern every now and then. :) 

The Nesting Bowl Trio is the first! It's one of the few patterns I've documented in progress, so I thought it was fitting it be first.

And now, scroll through the excessive pictures of these bowls to get to the *pattern*!!

Now that you've gotten some visual inspiration, check out the pattern below!!
(PS- Sharing is great, so share away! That's why the internet works. I'd appreciate if you linked back to my site if you want to share this pattern on yours. Many thanks!)
