How much can this teenager eat?

Really? My oldest is now 15 years old and I think he has a hole in his stomach. The kid never stops eating. He just got home from school 30 minutes ago and he's already raided the pantry 3 times. Is this what is to come with my next child (currently 13)? He already eats just as much as his big brother... but in 2 years is he going to be eating even more? I'm getting ready to rename my pantry the "Teenager Wasteland" because that's what the two of them are doing to it, they are turning it into a wasteland. *sigh*

Barbie's Kippah Pattern

Hook: H (5.0MM)
      (Please note that I crochet very tightly. 3sc per 2cm. If you find that your kippah is looser than this, you may want to adjust your hook to a smaller size)

Size: Teen – Adult

Yarn: worsted weight, 100% acrylic. I find Red Heart Super Saver works best.

Stitches – in US crochet terms (if the terms are different, the UK crochet terms are in parenthesis):

Sc = single crochet (dc = double crochet)

Dc = double crochet (tr = treble crochet)

Ch = chain

BLO = back loop only

Sl st = slip stitch

St/sts = stitch/stitches

The first 11 rows are worked in the round, do not join, use a stitch marker to hold your place.

Magic circle

8 sc in the circle. Pull tight.

1.      2sc in each stitch around. (16 sc)

2.    *(1sc in next st, 2sc in next st). Repeat around. (24 sc)

3.     *(1sc in next 2 sts, 2sc in next st). Repeat around. (32 sc)
