This hat is very nice for chemo hats as it is soft and pretty! They knit up quick & easy, about 2 hours depending on how fast you knit! There won’t be enough eyelash yarn for two, you can buy an extra ball or try doing stripes with your leftovers (or stretch it by alternating with plain bands of background). I made 18 in three weeks so I challenge you to make at least one in the next month to donate!

I have made quite a few of these hats & had fun using different colors of the background dk yarn and the eyelash/fur yarn.

Color suggestion: if you have a variegated fur yarn, pick one of the colors to use as the solid background yarn. Check your stash (or check ravelry stashes for some of the beautiful but discontinued fur yarns).

Note: you want a loose, flexible cast-on. I like the “Twisted German cast-on”. Video from VeryPink Knits of that cast-on here This hat will stretch a lot to accomodate various size heads so you want to be sure the cast-on will stretch also!

You can make the hat longer and roll up the brim if you like. If you have lots of hair or have a larger head, you can add 8 stitches and/or use a thicker background yarn.

Two sizes.
