…for knitting hats…fa la la la la la la la la
Why couldn’t I have decided to knit hats for everyone for Christmas? Things would be going so much faster!
Pattern: “No Hair Day” Hairy Chemo Cap by Sue W. Thompson (Ravelry link and direct link)
Size: 21″ It is meant to fit a 23″ head, so I gave it 2″ of negative ease so it will stay on and not flop around. I’ll find out as soon as I give it to her if it fits!
Yarn: Bernat Eye Lash in the Eyeliner (black) colorway. I used about 80% of 1 ball.
Needles: 5.5mm needle
Dates: December 2 2008
Modifications: None.
This was knit up for my cousin who underwent her first chemotherapy treatment yesterday and so had cut off her hair the day before. I showed her an assortment of photos of “chemo caps” I’d found on Ravelry, and she picked out 3 that she liked. Her mom (my aunt) went yarn shopping, and this is the first of the 3 that I made for her.

Despite the eyelash yarn (sorry, that had to be said), I’m sure your cousin will love it and appreciate the gesture. I can’t imagine going through chemo at this time of year without some handknits!
