Please use this free crochet pattern to make chemo caps for a local cancer center near you.
I have been a patient at our local cancer center. They mentioned, when I asked, that a mesh chemo cap would be good for the warmer months.
The Cancer Center told me there is a need for chemo caps, for the guys as well.
I immediately thought, “I can make chemo caps for men. So far I have designed 2 unisex chemo caps That men can wear. The first is the Simple Chemo Cap. Second is the Peekaboo Ridge Chemo Cap. They both use Lion Brand Coobo Yarn. It is a lovely yarn. I believe it is the right texture for tender skin.
There are a few other chemo cap designs on this blog. I would love it if you would visit them and use those crochet patterns too.
