FO - No Hair Day Hairy Chemo Cap / Update - Hat Has Been Gifted

[auburnchick]

I recently walked into my local bank and spied 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):



I immediately cast on for the “No-Hair-Day Hairy Chemo Cap.” The free pattern is located here.

I cast on Friday night (2/13) and finished last night (2/14). I used size 9 needles.







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!

That came out really nice and looks super soft! I have some Yarn Bee Frosting, maybe that's what I will do with it. I'm sure you will brighten her day when you take it to her.

That's pretty and looks warm!

Very nice hat. And very nice gesture, too. You're such a sweetie, Nathalie.

Awww, that looks great! As one who has gone through chemo (twice), I know she will appreciate it, especially if it's as nice and soft as it looks!! You are sweet for doing that.

It's really nice and a lovely colour (my favourite) and such a nice thing to do. Chemo is nasty to go through so I'm sure just the gesture will make her day :o) as well as being a nice present to receive :o)

It turned out beautiful!! What a sweet thing to do! She will love it and it looks so soft and cuddly. Will probably keep her head warm too.

[Wanda Witch]

What a thoughtful gesture. I know she will just love it and the color is absolutely beautiful.
