I was commissioned by cousin's husband, Frank, to find or create a pattern from the picture of a yarmulke/kippah that he found online. I could not find a paid or free pattern, only completed objects for sale. As he is a fellow crocheter, and likes to make his own kippah's, I was more than happy to oblige. I pray this honors my Jewish family.
I had others request that I share the pattern, so here we are!
Of course, this pattern is free. :)
Otherwise, the pattern is as follows:
