Product Details
Kathy Korona (knitter extraordinaire) from the Ames Free Library in Easton, MA asked for a chemo cap pattern that the library knitting group (read more about this library at the end of the pattern) could make to donate to cancer patients. It needed to be simple enough for the newest knitters, with some “upgrades” for knitters ready for a challenge. After some thought, this is what I came up with and why:
Cancer sucks. And many of the medications used to treat it are godsends that can bring very unwelcome side effects. My neighbor has lived with breast cancer for too many years and of all she has endured, the thing that bothers her most is the loss of her hair. So if hair has to go, then something lovely should replace it. This cap has a rolled brim that can be knit 2 ways, a single roll or a double roll (in photo) which gives it a hefty brim to surround the face. Plus there is an optional Swirl knit in a contrasting color.
