And cotton yarn is another thing which you cannot find here in Lahore, not sure about the other cities. This prayer cap is lovely.

As Salaamu Alaykum Syeda. I am a crocheter and I have been looking for patterns for kufis to make for my husband. May I use these lovely patterns you have? I was led to your page by the 30 day kufi challenge posted by another sister on her blog. I may even make some to distribute at the local masjeed before Eid ... that is of course, if I have your permission to use some of your patterns (I may tweek them a bit).

JazakhAllahu Khair Ukhtee,

Dear Fatoumata, Wsalaam.
Thank you for liking my kufi. you can use smaller size of hook and 12/8 ( nr 12 or 10 yarn or thread) for adjust size.

KUFI / CAP

I made this crochet kufi/ cap for my husband . I use the tapestry crochet technique for changing colors . Cotton yarn : Light brown, Brown 1 ball ea ch, 50 g or color you like. (8/4) Crochet hook nr: 4mm. I used hook nr 4mm but that is not a large size hook its look like nr 2.50 mm and 3 mm. ( see in fhoto). Chain: ch Single crochet: sc, Slip stich: sl st. Increase: inc. Decrease: dec. Continue : cont. Light brown: A Brown : B You can use one size small or large hook and do more increase or decrease sts rounds to fit the size. For colore change, always use tapestry crochet technique. When you have 2 loops on hook ,pull the new color and sc with new color and keep doing like this technique and try to carry yarn like this technique . This cap is worked in spiral so place marker to find the start. Chain 5 sl st in 1st ch to make a ring, with color A. Row 1: 8 Sc in the ring. Row 2: A 2 sc in ea. Sc ( 16 sc) while carryin
