A Hat for Surviving Chemo

A friend's mom is going through breast cancer. She just started chemo and winter is already dropping snow on Colorado, so I went straight to work making her a warm beanie. (Also as a cancer patient who didn't have to do chemo, I feel a need to pay extra special care to those who do.)

I used a Knitty pattern (free here) and Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino yarn.







It's reversible, because of the double knit, and super snuggly. I added a few extra rows before the decreases to increase the length. Fits well for a medium, average head, with some give. Pattern is easy to follow and only took about a week to complete. Two thumbs up.

Tatum had to try it on, of course, and showed that he really missed out on his ideal career as a super model.
