My friend is a beautiful woman with several piercings and sleeve tattoos, and her friend's style is similar. Through some covert investigation and skulduggery, she found out the favored colors would be red and black. I hope the recipient will receive some comfort from wearing it and knowing that our mutual friend wanted her to have something in keeping with her wardrobe preferences.
The pattern is at http://stitcheryprojects.com/2011/04/07/lace-edged-chemo-caps/
This is the top cap on the pattern, the Madeira. I used 25 grams, or 42 yards of the red and 44 grams, or 73 yards of the black. Both yarns are Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Delux. This yarn was great to work with. It's more tightly wound than the regular Handicrafter, so stitch definition is better. It didn't want to split. I washed little lengths of it to make sure it wouldn't bleed, and it didn't
Cheers,
Holly Nan
