FUCK CANCER
I finished the chemo cap. I had to do it twice, and now I feel I finally have a handle on doing it in the round- the first try I did intarsia, and I found that in the round, (of course!!) my ends were in the wrong spot. I also realized that because of my knitting style, my 'f' looked all sorts of wrong.
So I re-did it... This time with the beginning of each chart I'd begin with a new piece of yarn, so I did it fair isle style, leaving me with lots of weaving in on each end. There was so much weaving in on each side that it was getting bulky, so I broke a cardinal rule of knitting and joined together two ends at a time and double knotted them. Not ideal, I know, but it got the job done, should hold, and prevented a large lump at the front of the hat.
I originally found the chart/idea onThe Anti-craft
Special thanks to defendedtoclick from knitty for the chart, which you can findhere
Here are some photos...



And here are my messy ends...

The hat looks fantastic Annie! Great job! :)
Thanks, it isn't perfect, but neither am I! ;)
I agree, you did a great job! I'm too intimidated to try intarsia...=)
Just try it!! You're a much better knitter than I am- it's not as bad as you'd think it is!!
