Aceso (Greek: Ἀκεσώ) was the Greek goddess of the healing process.

This pattern is written in memory of all the people I’ve lost to cancer, and in support of cancer survivors. I ask that you please don’t sell these hats for profit, only donate the hats themselves, or donate the proceeds from sales to charity.

100% of the profits from this pattern will be going to Cancer research. When the pattern launches and for the first year, all proceeds will go to the International Thyroid Oncology Group, to their Research Grant Charity. Afterwards proceeds will accrue and I will donate once a year on October 29th, to either Susan G Komen for Breast Cancer, or the Lukemia and Lymphoma Society.

My sample hat is knit in a custom dyed colorway from Storied Yarns. the Colors are specifically for Thyroid Cancer awareness. Any worsted yarn will do, as long as it’s soft, and washable.
