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!
Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern...
ReplyDeletewhen 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
ReplyDeleteJulie
I would do k8, k2tog then the next decrease round will be k7, k2tog, etc. Happy Knitting!!!

ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteWould 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.
ReplyDeleteHow is the ribbed brim and hat body measured, with brim rolled or open flat?
