This is a soft hat with a brim. Since it is soft, the brim is fairly floppy, but can be pushed out of the eyes and will stay that way. It can be folded in ways that help it stay up as well. It is sized for a normal 22" head. This one happens to be knit in Caron Simply Soft in the color limelight on a #7 (4.5 mm) cable needle. This gave a gauge of 12 stitches to 2.5". It took about 200 yards (more than half the skein). k = knit p = purl kfb = knit front and back (an increase) Cast on 8...

Chemo Hat for Vikki I was asked to write a pattern for a chemo hat for a very special lady. She loves the 1940’s vintage turban look ……. So …… I made her this ~ I really wanted to brighten up her life a little by making something special - just for her. I know that treatment means that the head is very sensitive.

The tiny purl stitches above the ribbing represent the small steps - seeds - that lead to building up the courage necessary to face the trials of cancer. Just before the top decreases, you will find purl stitch “trees" - the culmination of the “planting" of all those tiny seeds of courage. Make this hat in a soft, comforting yarn. I chose Debbie Bliss' Cashmerino Aran. Malabrigo Worsted Merino would also be appropriate. The hat pattern has two sizes for a good fit. To all those suffering...
