I'd be glad to sew one and mail it to you/her. Please PM me with your address. The OR hats are really comfortable, as I wore them for 10 hr/day for 10 years, but I also had hair. Hey, it might be a change of pace for her! Sara

I like what Jerrie posted especially the knit one. This would be really nice made in Minky fabric. Nice & soft. I use to have a bandana scarf with sort of a quilted top. The quilted part came over your ears & was at least 6 inches wide , then the tails to tie. It was a little bigger than most bandannas. I will try & draw you a pattern of what I'm talking about if you like.

Thanks! It is hard trying to figure out which style she would like. I know most of them are probably comfortable with hair, but hard to say which one would be w/out hair!

I do like that knit one. Curious how it would hold up in the minky fabric. That is a good idea. I think I will have to play! Oh darn... :-)

I went on the internet and pulled up doo-rag patterns and so forth. Just wondering how comfy they are on soft heads?! Looking for ideas... I don't want to make something and find out that it itches her head. She would like me to make a bunch and I know you ladies/gents have suggestions or have made them before and know which ones are good and which ones aren't.

God Bless you and your family! I just lost my DSIL/BFF to cancer on the 19th, she was only 47. If you ever just need to talk, I'm here. Don't have any advice or hats, I just made her quilts and wall hangings.

the crown of the cap you can cut down and the minky fabric will hold up well that way it will not be so heavy on her head and will not slide gt;<img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.co...4EE0BF9B09.png" />&lt;/a&gt;

Here are directions for the comfort hats. I made several for the local cancer center a few years ago, they gave them to the ladies in treatment. I made them 2 ply to be reversible and there were no seams to itch or scratch. Used T-shirt knitand also soft cottons. Ruth
