Chemo Caps - Part 2


The Gia Chemo Cap doesn't have the same sort of story behind it as the Karen Cap, but it was developed with Chemo patients in mind!

Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here:

    Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern...
    when your measuring the body, do you stretch it out or leave it rolled up?

    Jen thanks for the pattern. I am making it smaller by co 70 stitches. What do I knit to start my decreases instead of beginning with k6, k2tog? Thanks

    I am knitting this hat for the first time. Is the 6.5 inch’s from cast on edge measured flat or with the rolls up?

    Would Fixation yarn by Cascade Yarns work as well for this pattern? If not how would I be able to adapt the pattern for this yarn? Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

      I have the same question. Is the 6.5" measured stretched flat or relaxed/curled?

    Yes. How do you measure the 6.5 inches? Stretched, or as it lays relaxed?

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

How are you all doing with holiday gifts? Still need a few to knock out quick-like? I found these cute gifts that I think could work up fast.

The pattern sells for $4.95 on Ravelry and calls for a sport weight cotton. The shop sells a DK cotton that would also work beautifully for these cuties - Ricorumi Another bookmark pattern is Leaf Bookmark & Garland Motif by Joey Diehl . This pattern is FREE and calls for Worsted weight yarn, so Uptown Worsted would be perfect for this. How about a sweet pocket friend for a child? This one is super basic, called Worry Pet by Blue Fox Paws and is a FREE pattern and uses any gauge yarn! It would be fun to use a textured yarn, or a fuzzy kind, but any yarn works. You can opt to put the ears on or not. We have safety eyes in the shop, too! Do you know someone who uses Airpods and could use a co...
