Chemo Hats

I've been knitting a lot of chemo hats these days.

Some, like these first three, are for people I don't know -- patients at Simma's hospital.

This is Ysolda's Urchin pattern, made with some yarn I'd had in my stash for years:

This one is the Hurricane hat pattern, made with superwash leftover from the Monkey Blanket.

And this one, my favorite, also made with leftover Monkey Blanket yarn (all gone now!!) is Wurm. It has a bright blue lining which you can't really see here:

Sadly, I've also been knitting chemo hats for someone I do know. David's mom, who's losing her hair now.

This is the Butterfly hat, made with a loosely spun wool from Lang:

And Molly, made with the softest Cascade Eco Duo, 50% undyed merino and 50% undyed alpaca:

Here's hoping there's a moratorium on chemo hats for a while. Although they're enjoyable to knit, I can't say I enjoy having to knit them.
