Crochet Chamsa
http://www.unikatissima.de/e/?p=59
I always liked the Chamsa (English Wikipedia entry for ‘Chamsa’) because it seems to me to be a sign of peace and friendship.
One day I crocheted a Chamsa to use it on a card.
Have fun with my original crochet pattern (and if you use it, please give credit).
First you work three rounds, then you continue in rows.
