Chemo Hat for Vikki

Chemo Hat for Vikki

I was asked to write a pattern for a chemo hat for a very special lady. She loves the 1940’s vintage turban look …….

So ……  I made her this ~ I really wanted to brighten up her life a little by making something special - just for her.

 

I know that treatment means that the head is very sensitive. So I chose to use King Cole Smooth DK.

If you are going to knit this as a chemo hat – please use a soft yarn (inexpensive acrylics are just not suitable for this ……) – maybe spend a little more money than you usually would – it is a very special gift after all. Cotton is great for the summer, maybe cashmere for the winter …….

If you like the hat and want to knit one for yourself – then of course any DK yarn will be fine!

I knitted the smaller size – heads with no hair are smaller than the average head. If you are knitting this for someone with lots of hair – then I suggest you measure the head – and chose the size that will fit best.  

I really hope that Vikki will enjoy her hat, and that there will be happier times ahead…….

Well I have had so many lovely comments about my ribbed ladies hat knitted in DK - and requests for something similar in Aran weight yarn - so cosy for the cold days ahead ........ 

So here you are ~  this is so simple and quick to knit! And the stretchy nature of this hat means that, if you are knitting this as a gift, you don't have to worry too much about size.

Galway Bay - Adult Ribbed Hat

Galway Bay Ribbed Hat

 

Adult Lady’s Hat

 

Tension:

4sts = 1” over the ribbing pattern, when stretched as worn

 

Size:

Width:  17” - 18” when stretched as worn

Height:  8”

 

Note: This hat will stretch to fit a range of sizes

 

Pattern:

 

Using 5.5mm (if you are a loose knitter), or 6mm needles (if you are a tight knitter) -

 

Cast on 69sts

 

1^st Row:        S1, k2, * p2, k2, repeat from *to last 2sts, p1, k1

 

2^nd Row:        S1, k1, p2, * k2, p2, repeat from * to last st, k1

 

Repeat the last 2 rows until work measures 6 ½ “

 

It is easy to adjust the hat height here ~ by increasing or decreasing the number of rows.

If you want a turn up brim – add 2” to the length here.

 

 

To shape the crown:

Row 1:          S1, k2, * p2tog, k2, repeat from * to last 2sts, p1, k1             
Row 2:          S1, * k1, p2, repeat from * to last st, k1

Row 6:          S1, * k1, p1, repeat from * to last st, k1

Row 7:          K2tog all across row to last st, k1                                      

Row 8:          P2tog all across row                                                              

 

Cut the yarn leaving a ‘tail’.

With a yarn needle, pull the yarn through all the remaining loops and secure.

Sew up side seam and weave in ends.

Add a pom-pom if desired.

Two years ago I wrote the instructions to make easy snowflake

Christmas Decorations.

 

I still love making them -

and I really love these ones I have just finished using a touch of 

King Cole Xmas Glitz.

 

So pretty - and so easy to make.

 

Glitz Easy Snowflake Decorations   King Cole Glitz       To make the Snowflake Motif ~   These instructions use UK terminology   Use a medium weight yarn. I made these with DK yarn and a 4mm hook.   Chain 3 stitches and join with a slip stitch into a circle.   Chain 1, then make 5 double crochet stitches into the circle. Join with a slip stitch. (6sts)   Chain 5, then make 3 trebles and chain 2 into next 5 stitches, make 2 trebles in last stitch and join to first 5 chain with a slip stitch.       Chain 2, then (make 2 trebles, chain 3, make 3 trebles) into the first chain space, then (make 3 trebles, chain 3, make 3 trebles) into each chain space all around. Join with a slip  stitch.      To make an edging ~  double crochet all around.          To make a hanging cord ( if desired) ~ chain 15. Attach to the motif.       You will find my original post at  ~             http://mariannaslazydaisydays.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/easy-snowflake-christmas-decoration.html        Copyright © 2015 ‘made by marianna’  All Rights Reserved This pattern (the information and photos) may not be copied or reproduced or republished on another webpage or website. ‘This work is registered with the UK Copyright Service.’

- and especially cute and easy patterns for the boys.

 

I think this design works for both boys & girls,

 

so I have called it Jack & Jill
