I made this cap for my husband in 1995 also. My 1st prayer cap can be see on my blog post prayer cap 1, http://syedaiffat.blogspot.com/2008/10/prayer-cap_4512.html .This is the samme pattern but i used steel crochet hook nr 1.50 mm.

1: I made this cap for my son in 1995 with a very thin crochet thread and used 0.75 mm. steel crochet hook for this. I cann't remember exactly, how many chain made for make a ring. I made a ring and dc and 2 ch and make 8 holes and 4 dc in every hole. Increase 2 dc in 1st and last dc, 2 ch and continue to about 2o dc and start with decrease to make a flower shape and between you can make some flower or any desigen, which you like and after that no increase, no decrease, so it give a eadge look. 2: For these caps i used cotton yarn and 2.50 mm. almunium crochet hook. I used this cotton yarn for nr 2 caps.

I used provisional cast on , . I cast on 24 stiches on 3.00mm needle and the same method use for heel. Knit 1 with color a, knit 1 with color b. this is all I did in this socks .

I use figure 8 cast on and make cable on 6 stiches. For heel i used turn and wrape short row technique.

I cast on 160 stiches on 3.50 circular knitting needle ( i used german cast on method, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfFadEumBak ) and knit 1, purl 1 to end and join last stish with the 1st stich and continue knitting knit and purl in round and when the work is about 27 cm long, bind off. My back warmer is about to finished. I just finished it.

This is very easy to make . I cast on 64 sts and used german cast on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfFadEumBak knit 1, purl 1 row to make a boder . There is 6 purl row , Knit 2 rows and again knit and purl , its up to you how many rows do you lik e. Knit 9 rows then decrease i stich, continue to decrease on every 10th row until there are 52 stiches left. Now you make boder again and bind off.
