thanks for sharing the pattern. I've made three for my chemo hat donations. so cute - thank you, thank you
ReplyDeleteAnn Pickett just wanted to thank you for this pattern one of my best girlfriends is going through chemo and radiation and losing her hair so I am making her beanies yes. This is a great chemo beanie thanks
ReplyDeleteSo nice! I am making many chemo hats for a place around my area! I have sent 30 so far. I am always looking for a new pattern and yours is wonderful! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame when you copy and paste that the print goes over with a yellow background.
ReplyDeleteAfter you copy the text, right click and choose "Paste as plain text". That will remove all the background from the text.
DeleteRounds 14 – 16: Repeat rows 11 & 12 does not make sense to me. Don't know what Im doing wrong. I get 21 chain spaces. Should it be repeat 12 than 11?
ReplyDeleteIf you get 21 ch sp instead of 20, it sounds like you're creating an extra stitch at the beginning. Make sure you only have 60hdc on round 10 and that you join to the first hdc from row 10, and make the first sc in that same hdc where you joined.
DeleteThank you for this wonderful pattern. It will be my go to chemo hat pattern.
