Chemo Caps

[Pixieglitter]

I've been on a roll, making a bunch of chemo caps. I'll drop them off at my local cancer center. I want to make some smaller ones for children and babies, and some larger ones in darker colors for men. I only use 100% cotton so they're comfortable for sleeping in, also.

I lost my brother 2 years ago to brain cancer, he'd just turned 46. Making chemo caps is a kind of therapy for me, and it's a way I can honor my brother.

Here's the easy free pattern I use. It has instructions for all sizes.

Thanks Shelly, My Dad pasted away in dec 2012 . He had 3 huge tumors fought for 2 yrs. surgeries and Radiations. And so many fighting this . Thanks for pattern don't know why I didn't look it up sooner. I'm gonna make some for my church & Carle hosp. That's where he went to. Such a little project but yet can mean so much to someone.
Debbie ( So in honor of my Dad & your brother my project will begin ) Thanks again

Hugs (((Debbie))) I'm so sorry you lost your dad to such a deadly disease. It's really rotten. My brother, Joey, fought his personal battle so hard. He spent his last 12 months making the most awesome memories for his family, his beautiful wife and his kids.

Much love to you,
Shelley

Hi Debbie, I just copied some of the patterns down and I probably will be requiring one of these myself soon so I am going to try to make one for myself so I will be ready when I need it. I think I will maybe I need a size medium adult one so I will try that first. I really like the ones you have posted on here. Maybe I will be crocheting at the hospital when and if I need to stay there ...I really don't know yet how soon I will be up to crocheting or where I will be after surgery. I really don't know what to expect yet.....And my car is on the blink.... again!
It's so nice ...what you are doing for the people who need a boost in morale. Love and hugs,Patty
