Cast on 104 stitches due to the DK weight yarn, so my message was 13 binary codes long.

Discovered something about binary code: letters with accent marks etc., have 2 binary codes! The message for this hat was in Hungarian, and included the character á, so while the message was 12 letters long, it had 13 binary codes.
BTW, I absolutely LOVE this pattern and probably will make more of these hats in the future, personalized for the recipient. I love that each one is a little different, the fit is great no matter what your pattern ends up as, and is a fabulously quick knit.
I used this site to convert my text message into binary code:
