This will make a great chemo hat. I showed my sister and she said that I should make it for the cancer center where she has been having treatments and where she has received hats.
Thank you for this easy hat pattern. I love your website and all the patterns you have. Keep up the good work.
Love this hat, I’ve made 6 already for South Sacramento Cancer Center
