Instructions for Your Basic Cotton Chemo Cap
Basic cotton chemo cap instructions, for a beanie that is ideal for wearing in warmer weather.
This little cotton cap is worked in the round, starting from the top, which makes it quick to knit up on either 2 circular or a set of double pointed needles.
Make it plain, add some stripes in different colours or work a motive using intarsia or Swiss darning – just be sure not to make knots when changing yarns so that the inside of the cap stays as smooth and soft as possible.
