This beautiful beanie works up so wonderfully and once you get the rhythm it goes quick! This beanie also works wonderfully as a chemo cap or as I call it a “comfort cap.” <3

This pattern is for the beanie/chemo cap only, scarf is a separate pattern. Beanie is approx. 7 ½ inches in length (top to bottom) and approx. 20 inches in circumference. This is an adult female size. Rows 1 - 7 is the crown and measures approx. 7in x 7in. You may need to go up a hook size and/or use a looser tension if your crown is smaller than 7 x 7.

You can test your gauge by testing the crown section as listed below to try to achieve a 7-inch circumference:
