Cheery Chemo Cap
Lion Brand® Fancy Fur
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.

| Cheery Chemo Cap Reviewed by Janet Harrison on 2009-11-03 |
 |
I made 3 hats just like this using a similar feathery yarn for myself and a friend who was also going through chemo last winter. We both lost our hair for over 6 months and this type of hat with so much texture just felt great covering my bald head. My friend was most comfortable with one in shades of brown, while mine were in bright colours. It is very cold and drafty having no hair, and I wore my caps both indoors and outside. I especially liked this type of cap with the texture resembling fluffy hair, instead of the smooth flat hats which did not add any volume to my scalp. My usual hair before chemo was short and curly so a cap like this just felt better. Thank you for providing this pattern for others.
