Crochet Yarmulke Pattern

I was recently asked to design a crochet yarmulke pattern and of course I wanted to share the design with you as well! I chose a sport weight yarn so that it wouldn’t be too hot or heavy and added some long single crochets to give it a little interest.

Crochet Yarmulke Pattern

Here’s what you need:

• 3 colors sport weight yarn (less than 1 skein each)
• F hook
• yarn needle, scissors
