This evening, I was working on a Chemo Cap for a friend and even though I like the pattern I was using, I wanted something a bit different. I grabbed my hook, yarn, paper & pen and this is what I came up with.
(My model is away for the evening so I was stuck trying to take a photo of myself wearing the beanie...it's harder than it looks!)

**Edited to add.....Small T tried this on and says that it is too plain, or perfect for a boy. So...I need to add some embellishment. Maybe a flower. I'll be hitting the drawing board later today to see what I can come up with. (It's a good thing I have a fashionable teen in my house!)

Well done Shelly I have done similar for a child but haven't written the pattern down yet. Thank you for your pattern. Are you going to weigh your stuff Shelly to see how many grams you have busted :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your friend, but it is great that you can make her a hat. If it is for a woman, definitely a flower would be great (even in the same color, and maybe a button in the center)...
ReplyDeleteThank you both for the comments. I'm thinking that I need to add a flower and your comment helped me make that decision. As far as weighing the items I'm making to determine the amount of yarn used, I have no means of doing that, so at this time, I can't. I will talk to my husband about getting a scale and see what happens. I never thought of doing this. Great suggestion!
