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

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.
