I put the pattern online.

( shiny )

basically what you do is start at the center of the kippah after a few rows.

now start the first pattern you want to use, starting from the upper left-hand corner. you might want to have 2 vines going, so the kippah has more color. where there's no pattern just do the base color. so 1 row of mine might have a silver, black, silver, purple and the rest black

once you get to the end of a pattern, start the next one on the next row. the vine from the lower right corner connects to the next upper left hand corner. start it right underneath and diagonally to the right. in this way, there's no break.

if you want to add stitches, it's easy. i usually do it in the blank areas between vines and leaves. the only thing is when you get to a long stretch of vine connecting 2 branches, add the stitches there as well [not doubling, but doing as many as it takes to connect what should be connected.] basically this involves a lot of paying attention to the rows above the one you're working on, and counting stitches so you know where to change colors.

wow. these directions are confusing. good luck trying to make this!
