I altered the start of the cap because the original pattern stretched too much. I begin with 5 rows of k 1, p 1 ribbing, and then continue with the pattern. I know from personal experience about the stretching, because during chemotherapy I made 35 hats for myself. The caps are wonderful to wear. I matched hat, blouse, earrings, bracelet and socks to give myself a lift (I made the jewelry). I have used several types of yarns. I still get requests for the hats. It is easy to make and not time consuming. I rate it 5 stars because it can make other people feel better when given as a gift. I have made over one hundred knitted “Chemo” caps on straight needles.

I was looking for a child's knit cardigan, which I tried findind both as a search term and by narrowing by category. Each and every time, it would dispaly the first page of the result, only to add every other pattern in the library back into the reults starting on the second page of results. I tried several searches to verify what was happening. Otherwise, I LOVE the patterns on the site, love reading the reviews, and LOVE the site in general. Thanks so much ,it is a fiber lover's treasure and one of my most used resources. I was using pattern finder last evening and found some odd trouble with the search engine.
