Introducing Ciepło!

This latest hat is named Ciepło, which means warmth in Polish.  It's a super simple, quick knit that will work equally well for men and women.  Make it in any color you like and of course, you can use whatever is in your stash because directions are included for all yarn weights.

Sadly, there is still a huge need for chemo caps! Please consider making some for your local cancer center or sending some to DEHH so I can get them to those who need them.  Hats are still being shipped out on a regular basis and will be throughout the Summer.  Air conditioning means that many cancer warriors are cold even in the hot weather, so we don't slow down shipments.

Cotton, bamboo and cotton blend yarns are great for this time of year too.  This version of this pattern was knit using KnitPicks Comfy Bulky, a super soft cotton blend that works up nicely.

Introducing Chaleur

 Sadly, the need for chemo caps is as great as ever.  Though these hats seem to be such a small thing, they have a big impact on the people who receive them.  Please consider making some and donating them to your local cancer center or sending them to DEHH to distribute to those in need. 2025 has been a very busy year so far, but hats are being shipped out regularly!  Chemo caps are truly needed - everywhere!

This latest hat is named Chauler, which means warmth in French.  It's a quick knit that is very versatile.  You can knit it all in one color.  You can change the brim.  You can use any color combination you'd like.  And of course, you can use whatever is in your stash because directions are included for all yarn weights.

Introducing Cluthar!

 2025 is underway and the need for chemo caps is huge!  I've got hospitals and cancer centers on a waiting list so I am knitting as fast as I can and I hope you are too!

We were recently featured in the Delaware News Journal - it's a quick read but gives some insight into what these hats mean to others.

This latest hat is named Cluthar which is the Irish word for warmth.  I knit the models using 6-weight, super bulky yarn, but of course have included all yarn weights for your convenience.

Do NOT be intimidated by the pattern.  It truly is very simple.  Once you do the first repeat, you can easily see where to make the next loop.  Try it and I bet you'll really enjoy the pattern!
