The Leaf Peepers Hat and Headband was designed in honor of a friend who was recently diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer and shaved her head while undergoing chemotherapy. 50% of all pattern sales will be donated to the American Cancer Society -- $2.50 per pattern purchased.

This hat and headband pattern is knit from the brim up in the round using one skein of DK held together with one skein of lace. Two skeins of fingering held together are an appropriate for the DK, and you could also choose one strand of worsted instead of the two yarns held together.

I sell kits for this pattern in my etsy store, so if you’d like to purchase a skein of DK with a coordinating skein of suri lace, go to etsy.com/shop/rhapsodyfiber! Happy knitting!
