Really cute. I have found that the cotton yarns are softer and less hot which is important in Florida

Hi: Thanks for new chemo hat patterns. I’ve been doing these hats for 6+ years now and always welcome a pattern change. I like them because they are compact enough I can always carry one in progress and one completed one. So many people ask what I’m doing, and when I say “knitting chemo hats” they know someone who needs one. I have the completed one to give them.

What a wonderful and thoughtful idea, have a hat in progress and one already finished.. Plus you may also without realising get someone else into the thought of having a go at knitting.. A wonderful craft!!But I was taken by the thought of having a completed hat at hand, its seems everyone I chat to does know someone that is ill, and the thought how it makes the person you have gave the hat to day, and the person they pass it on to..

I have not ever heard a 47″ circular needle, is this correct? Real cute thought my granddaughters would like.

Mine is an Addi Turbo and I love it. I was never a fan of making hats until I discovered the Addi Turbo circular needles and the magic loop.

Lois, that sounds like a great idea. I live along the Coast in CA and we really don’t need the very warm hats.

HiThis is the cutest pattern and my daughter who has cancer will love it. Making it in the cotton will be a great idea to be cooler. Thank you so much for the pattern.Julie

Thank you so much for the cute hat patterns. I just actually started knitting some preemie hats for babies at our local hospital and was trying to find different ideas. I have about a dozen made and want to fill a box before I bring them in. My Grandaughter lost her baby in the New Year and when they dressed the baby he had on a lovely yellow hat. I just wanted to return the favour by providing more hats for some little angels in need. Im sure I can convert the pattern for a smaller head.

Bless you for paying it forward by making more hats for other little ones. You should definitely be able to convert this pattern for a smaller size. I have a few baby hat patterns on my site. I also plan on adding some lace baby hats in the future. I’ll let you know when those are available.

Thank you so much for sharing our patterns. I am making chemo hats and these will be a most welcome addition.
The clenic has warn us that using cotton ones has to be very careful. The ladies who have lost their hairshave a scalp which is very sensitive.

What is the best yarn to use for these Hats, For the chemopatients.. Bamboo, organic cotton, silk blend? chenille? streach cotton? People from your site seam to like cotton. I have knitted with the organic cotton and it is softer than sugar & cream. MY Best, Gale

Does anyone know how I might adjust this pattern for children? I am knitting scarves and hats for children who have cancer – and this would be perfect for the little ones. Thank you.

By using a sport or DK weight and using size 6 (4 mm) needles, it will convert it to about a 16″ to 16.5″ circumference. I would make it shorter. You could make it even smaller, about a 13.5″ circumference, by casting on 70 instead of 84.
