“Regulus” is another Tapestry Crochet cap, which I made many years ago. This fits an adult head with a 22 “ or 56 cm circumference when you reach gauge. Regulus (α Leo, α Leonis, Alpha Leonis) is the brightest star in the constellation Leo and one of the brightest stars in the night sky, lying approximately 79 light years from Earth. Regulus is a multiple star system composed of four stars that are organized into two pairs. Of the brightest stars in the sky, Regulus is closest to the ecliptic.

Be playful with color and enjoy your journey into Tapestry Crochet.

Pattern Notes: When dealing with two colors, you will be carrying one yarn inside the other, or you may have floats. When changing colors you will be making the last stich closure with the color you will be using next. For example if you are doing a FPdc st with MC, and the next is CC , you will crochet the st with MC, but you will finish crocheting the st with CC. The Ch1 at the beginning of a Rnd is not to be counted as a stitch unless instructed to do so.
