My friend is almost done with school to be a radiology technician. She likes to tell me about the different bones in my body. Anyway, I made her a hat with skulls, because I am so proud of her.
The hat pattern is my invention, but I took the chart from somewhere else. You could put any chart on it, use KnitPro (in my links) and it creates charts for you.
I used Encore Worsted in black and white on size 8 16" circulars and double pins.
Hat is worked in black and duplicate stitch skulls in white.
CO 72 on the circulars.
Knit 1 inch in K2, P2 rib.
Switch to stockinette and work until hat measures 5.5 inches from cast on. Begin decreases (switch to DPN when you feel stretched).

could that skull be knit in using instarsia?
I don't see why not. I don't use intarsia; it is too confusing for me.
