Calvarium Skullcap

The Calvarium Skullcap pattern is by Drew Emborsky. I used an I hook and Red Heart Super Saver Strips yarn in Polo.  

This was supposed to be an easy peasy work on it at lunch pattern. I got something messed up at work and frogged it and started over. Instead of following the directions where I would’ve had a HDC in the FL turn and sc in the BL, I did hdc in the BLO turn and sc in the BLO. Ooops. Still looks good.  This flat method of construction might work for nalbinding too.

How the sewing looks

The directions say: “Weave a long length of yarn in and out of end stitches of one side of the tube, cinch tightly, and secure with a knot.” This made no sense to me so I weaved it all around the circle and pulled it closed, but I have too much up there and it leaves a hole, so I will sew it closed.
