chemo night cap
 

This is not quilting related, but hope you can help. I'm looking for a chemo night cap pattern for a 14 yr old girl who is going through chemo. I have seen night caps, but no patterns. Does anyone have a site to go to? Thanks for your help.

Go to Hancocks fabrics chemo caps or head huggers. They have a free pattern using fleece or knit cotton as used in t-shirts. It is a very quick pattern. You can get 2 caps from 1/2 yard fabric

Nancy's Notions also has patterns for chemo hats. You need them all the time. Your head gets cold. At least, mine does.

I had found this one online and make it. I drew up the pattern on kraft paper and they come together quick and easy.

I was fortunate that friends knitted a couple of caps for me but I've also found a new affection for 'hoodies'. I find I get hot and then I get chilly. The hoodie allows me to just pull it up and it also protects my neck from the chill. I often wear them to bed. Best of luck to her. This isn't a fun thing to go through. You could also try pinterest ... just search for chemo caps. There are lots of patterns.

Nancy's Notions has a book entitled Creative Kindness, which has several projects to help make a difference in the lives of others with sickness or hardship. They also have a video called Creative Kindness Continues. :)

Here is a site with ideas.
