Chemo Cap

Lion Brand^® Fun Fur - Microspun

GAUGE:

10 stitches + 12 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in stockinette stitch (straight needles: knit on right side, purl on wrong side) (double-pointed needles: knit every round). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Chemo Cap Reviewed by Beth on 2009-01-08
When my best friend was undergoing her Chemo treatments, she asked me if I would make her a hat for 'when she lost her hair'. I was just a 'beginner' but told her sure. I made this hat using the colors suggested...because Hot Pink was a favorite color for both of us. She was surprised when she saw her new hat-hair and initially wasn't sure when she would wear it. However, every time she went out with her 'pink hair', she received many compliments and was told that she had healthy color in her complexion. So don't be afraid to use bright colors because they bring spark to a difficult time in life!! I had no difficulty making it, she loved it and said it's very comfortable and easy to 'wash & wear'...anywhere...at home, to bed, or out on the town! The sad news is my friend lost her battle...but the good news is her Pink Hair lives on on another head!! Thank you Lion Brand for a manageable pattern for beginners!!
