AuburnChick's Adventures

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!
