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

Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!
Thank you, I enjoy making hats for the cancer center & I try to make each hat special. This is very special.
ReplyDeleteHi! I was able to make this hat for a family member who is going through chemo. I really struggled with row 2 of the fan stitch. The stitches were very tight and almost impossible to push up the needle. In fact, I had to change to a smaller needle to finish this round.Do you have any suggestions of how to avoid this in the future? Thank you!
