Crochet a Kippah

This is a pattern I found on the web.

Kipah or Yarmulka: is a cap worn by some Jews during prayer and religious study and for some, all the time.

Materials:
DMC cotton #8 (one ball for base, one half ball for each contrasting pattern color)
Size 10 or 11 crochet hook

Directions:
Chain 2.
First Round: In second chain from hook crochet 6 sc in chain.
Second Round: 2 sc in each sc. 12 sc
Third Round: 2 sc in first sc, and 1 sc in next sc, continue around to start 18 sc
Fourth Round: 2sc in first sc, 1 sc in next two sc, continue around, 24 sc.
Fifth Round: 2sc in first sc, 1 sc in next 3 sc, continue 30 sc's.

Continue in this pattern until the base resembles a small flat disk and measures the width of three fingers on your hand when the yarmulka base is folded into quarters.. At this point, sc in each sc until it reaches the desired size. You can add a pattern or not...
