Something finished...

My version of Elvish Leaves... Too loose, I'd say. It was supposed to have a nice 3D feeling to it. Yes, sure, it's 3D - every object in this world is 3D, but you know what I mean. Strong structure is what I mean. Mine is flat and - sure - pretty, but not what I expected. :-(

But it was a nice little "refreshment". Now I'll go back to crochet my doily and knit my socks. *sigh*

BTW, someone said a pattern has to be published if it is to be accepted as a pattern to get points for at KnitWars... So

Net cap
I don't care about cauge, yarn, needles and such. Use what works for you. You'll need yarn and crochet hook ;-)
The clay head is about half the size of an actual head, so don't think this is a bell hat. This is like a Juliet cap or a kippah.

Ch 4 and join to first ch with a sl st to form a ring.
1st round: Ch 7, *dc in ring, ch 4* 4 times, dc, ch 2, hdc in 3rd ch of the beginning chain.

24 dcs and ch4 spaces.

14th round: ch4, skip 1 dc, dc in next dc, continue around. Sl st in 3rd ch of the beginning ch. Fasten off.

If the cap is too big - ch3 instead of ch4 in the last 3 rounds. If the cap is too small, ch5 instead of ch4.

P.S. Today's link is Marjorie Crochets! Some of the cutest amigurumis (crocheted or knitted toys) I've seen! And some other things too ;-)
