Lid

In Magic circle double crochet stitch 12 times,

Row 2 – do 2 dc stitches in each chain.

Row 3 – do 2 dc in first stitch then 1 dc in next 1 stitch. 

Row 4 – do 2 dc in first stitch then 1 dc in next 2 stitches.  

Row 4 – do 2 dc in first stitch then 1 dc in next 3 stitches.   

I used up the trim of one of the nightgowns to make a pompom by just cutting it into small pieces and tying it together. 

*It's very easy to give the lid shape while still using the same stitch count by doing looser and tighter stitches.
