As of Feb 2019, this pattern (along with several others in my store) has been deactivated so I can update the PDF with a more standardized layout and style. Contact me directly if you would like to purchase it before the new version is out OR if you would like to be notified when the update is complete! Thank you so much!

“Patricia” is a cabled, turban-style hat, one in a series of “chemo caps” designed for my Aunt Pat during her chemo treatments for breast cancer. She is a selfless, loving, woman…a beautiful writer…a wonderful teacher…a blessing to know and love. It was with great honor that I accepted these commisisons and really enjoyed thinking of her while making these hats. This is the one I love the most and she looked awesome in it! It’s also my favorite to wear on chilly days.

Style note: As usual, my nieces broaden my horizons! Little Anna (age 6), decided to put hers on sideways and it was ADORABLE. I’ve also started wearing it backwards when I have a low ponytail because the “turban tab”, which is usually centered at the forehead, allows a little bit of room for my hairband to sit without interfering with the hat.
