]]> Comment on (Re)claiming Queer/Domestic/Feminist Judaism by saltyfemme http://saltyfemme.com/2006/09/05/reclaiming-queerdomesticfeminist-judaism/#comment-4542 saltyfemme Tue, 04 Dec 2007 14:56:01 +0000 http://saltyfemme.wordpress.com/2006/09/05/reclaiming-queerdomesticfeminist-judaism/#comment-4542 Audrey-I hardly ever use a pattern for making yarmulkas. Also, most people crochet them, I have never met anyone who has knitted one. It's one of those projects that you need someone to show you, the stitching is the easy part - the hard part is learning when to increase because it has to be done gradually as you work your way out. Hey Shelly! I actually made up the pattern myself, working from a pattern from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Big-Book-Knitting-Stitch-Patterns/dp/1402727631" rel="nofollow">this</a> fantastic book which is has hundreds of standard patterns which can be used for an infinite number of projects. I can dig around at home to remember the size of the yarn that I used, which was quite thin. Audrey-I hardly ever use a pattern for making yarmulkas.
