Originally shared during the October 2025 Hope & Harvest event, this collection of free chemo cap crochet patterns and coordinating comfort items is designed to bring warmth, confidence, and care to anyone walking the cancer journey.
Whether you’re making something for yourself, a loved one, or a fellow pink warrior, these free chemo cap crochet patterns were created with chemo patients in mind. The designs vary but are always intended for the one fighting cancer.
You will also find soft cozy wraps, scarves, neckwarmers and even poncho crochet patterns. Cancer patients not only lose hair, but some endure a deep chill.
I wasn’t comfortable wearing undergarments after my mastectomy and the ponchos came in so handy.

A Note About Why I Design Chemo Caps
“I’ve been there. I’ve fought the fight. Since then, I’ve designed chemo caps accessories, considering the needs other victims may have.”
I have learned a lot about what others go through. If you watch the Live Sessions you will hear me talk about it often.
A Letter From Someone Fighting Cancer
I couldn’t attend the live event, but I wholeheartedly agree about the need for cancer hats. People don’t realize until they’re in a room full of others undergoing treatment how comforting a soft, donated hat can be for tender scalps, and how much a cozy blanket or wrap helps when you feel cold.
I’m navigating eye cancer myself and had my left eye removed in April this year. My best friend’s sister was recently diagnosed with breast cancer through a mammogram, and my mum has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and has surgery scheduled in two weeks. I completely agree that hats, blankets, and wraps are essential during treatment.
Although I can’t join you live, being in the UK and exhausted from appointments and treatment this week, I’m so glad to be one of your followers. I’ve made hats for myself, my mother, and my friend’s sister, and I’m hoping to take eight finished hats to Monday’s treatment group. Other groups have also asked for hats, so I’m donating in the name of loved ones who would have received Christmas gifts this year.
Even your smaller projects, like the bottle holder, are so relevant for donating to patients, including myself, family, and friends. I’m excited to include them for Christmas this year.

Let’s Talk About Donating Handmade Items
If you’re thinking about donating your handmade chemo caps or comfort items, start by reaching out to your local cancer treatment center.
Each center has different needs and rules about what they can accept. Some may ask for brand-new items made with specific types of yarn, while others are thrilled to receive any soft, handmade gifts.
A quick call to the volunteer services or patient support office will help you learn exactly what’s needed. It’s a wonderful way to make sure your donations go directly into the hands of those who need them most.
Even a small bundle of handmade love can make a big difference in someone’s treatment journey.
I’d love to hear from you!
Where have you donated your handmade items, or who have you made them for?
I would love any suggestions about what other items may be needed for a chemo patient or someone going through Breast Cancer.
