You might remember my story about walking into my local bank and spying my favorite teller who, I discovered, is undergoing chemotherapy treatments. She was wearing a cotton turban.
Instantly, I remembered purchasing this yarn:
Berroco Chinchilla Color #7524
After finishing my Hawaiian Leis Socks, which you saw a post or two ago, I immediately cast on for the “No-Hair-Day Hairy Chemo Cap.” The free pattern is located here.
Now, if you’ll recall, I made two of these hats last summer, using eyelash yarn. I was not happy with the results.
I was determined that this time would be different.
And it was.
Here is the finished project, which I cast on Friday night (2/13) and finished last night (2/14). This was not constant knitting time but knitting in between “life.”
I made the small size, but the hat still turned out a little large. I found that rolling up the brim made the hat fit better and adds a little character to an otherwise plain hat.
I hope she likes it!
