Here is the second pattern from last week. This was knit using Vanna's Choice yarn - about 100 yards and size 9 circular needles. It's just a 4 row repeat pattern that is extremely simple! Yet, the hat looks cute, has interesting texture and works wonderfully as a chemo cap. This could be worked in any worsted weight yarn. I'm planning on making on in cotton too!
As always, the pattern is free, but I ask that you send a special thought or prayer to Nicole in MA. She is a young lady who had her first child in February. Her transplant was put on hold and she is facing another battle through yet another very aggressive round of chemo. Please keep her and her entire family in your thoughts.
The pattern may also be found on Scribd.com as a PDF
and, as always, you can email me at robin@delawareheadhuggers.org and I
will email you a copy. If you are printing this, use print preview to
determine
the pages you
wish to print or copy and paste it into a Word document to ensure that
you print only what you want.
