My BFF found out a few days ago that she has small cell lung cancer. It is aggressive and so is the treatment. They tell her she will lose her hair in 2 or 3 weeks so I want to make her some cool weight chemo caps. I had a pattern for some caps made from cotton-knit fabric, but who knows where that is. All I can find online is crochet or knitted. Can anyone help?

Not a cap, but my brother used the dew rags and bandanas ? Just a thought.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}} and warm thoughts for you and your friend

I found this for you, I am sorry about your BFF..

#10 looks perfect for her.


Are you old enough to remember when girls wore those cotton triangle head scarves? Those are easy to make and might work. You also might try this one Mccalls 4116

Lordy, I am old enough to have invented them. Thank you all so much for the links. I will check them everyone.

I have a good pattern, easy and stylish. Will be glad to send it to you but can't until mid week. It is a bit more stylish than those shown. It is usually made from cotton knit.

So glad this thread was started. My daughter's friend just had a hysterectomy due to ovarian cancer. Poor thing just found out and it went fast from there. And she is so young, just breaks my heart. She will lose her hair too, so I thought I would make her some chemo caps. She did tell my daughter that she wants a hot pink wig. At least she still has her sense of humor.

i just got a pattern for the cap i can send it to u or make some and send let me know
