Summery chemo hats

I found these fun cotton, summery hats by Jennifer on Ravelry and just had to make them! They are so cute and such fun colors! I used Sugar n Cream cotton yarn by Lily. I made one for each of my granddaughters and a a couple for our local cancer center. I attached pink braids on the one for my youngest granddaughter so she'd keep it on better but forgot to get a picture after I attached them. This is a picture of her before I added the braids. I thought I had taken a picture of her sister wearing the hat I made her but didn't see it when I went looking to add it here.

The hats below I made for cancer patients. They appear to not be shaped very well but once they are on they are shaped nice as you can see by the picture of my granddaughter wearing hers. The flowers are a little different than the pattern called for. The flower on the orange and pink hat is the same as on Jennifer's pattern but the other flowers I got from Mary Jane Hall's pattern. By the way, I also love the hat pattern that she made with this flower and it's also on my list to make. I guess I need to start a list over to the side of all the patterns I eventually want to crochet so I have them all in the same place.

 

Chemo Hats

Today I wanted to post some other chemo hats I've made. I have found so many wonderful patterns out there and love crocheting as many different ones as I can.  My goal is to do at least 15 a month which wouldn't be too much of a problem except that I can spend hours just looking at new patterns. I try to make a variety of styles and sizes to fit the different styles and sizes of those with cancer. Both of these hats are from the same pattern just different colors (duh, obviously) and different flowers. I do try to change them up a bit. I had also made the scarf at a different time and just sent them over together since I thought they looked good together. These two hats are very simple to make and are done in double crochet mostly. I found the free pattern from Addicted to Alpaca's blog. She came up with the pattern to make a hat for Halos of Hope and was so nice to share her pattern with everyone. I used Caron's Spa soft bamboo blend yarn and it made such a nice soft, comfortable hat and scarf. I love the feel of it!

The flower for this hat came from Brittany at Crafty Woman Creations. I found her free pattern here on Ravelry.Thank you Brittany. The beautiful scarf was designed by Carrie Carpenter. You can find her pattern here.

 The rose on the blue hat was designed by Heidi at heidibearscreative.blogspot.com. She used a divine sock yarn and size 2mm crochet hook. I used the same Caron bamboo yarn as the trim on the hat and a size G hook and think it still turned out good.

I will try to get more hat patterns posted in the next few days. Enjoy! God bless!
