I have read that it is VERY important to only use cotton yarn when making hats for cancer patients. No acrylic, silk or wool.

I made many of these hats in various colors for myself last winter while going thru chemo. I added a scalloped edge to some and flowers to others. I even made an edging that I could weave a ribbon through and make a bow. My grandaughters ( 8 and 4) both asked for hats to go with their coats. They can be made in an afternoon.

365 and GumyWhite, while I have not completed this garment, nor read the pattern itself... from what you have posted this is what I would do: 1st time around stitch 54 (after the 6 sc increases), 2nd time around stitch 54 (with no increases), 3rd time around stitch 60 (after the 6 sc increases), 4th time around stitch 60 (with no increases), 5th time around stitch 66 (after 6 sc increases), 6th time around stitch 66 (wit no increase), and 7th time around stitch 72 stitches (after 6 sc increases). Hope that helps! Please note again, I cant proclaim to be right or wrong... just sharing how I would interpret the intructions you've posted. Happy stitching!

I too am lost on the Chemo Cap, same round as GumyWhite in Texas. I understand the 2sc in next sc, 1sc in each of next 9, 6times but where it looses me is on the cont in same manner, inc 6 sts on every following alt rnd to 72sts. The part I am having a hard time with is the "follwoing alt rnd". To me alternate means every other round but what am i doing on the none alternate round? I know I am missing something or making this harder then needs be but I can not for the life of me come up with what I am suppose to do. If you could explain to me in "Crochet for dummies" terms I would greatly appreciate it. I have made afghans and booties in the past but this one has me stumped. Thank You so much for the help. 365

I love this hat for the women surviving cancer and all but am I overly empathizing when I say 'I feel the person wearing this would really feel 'more normal and private' if whoever made it 'sews' in side hairs hanging out a bit a bit at the nape of the neck and either bangs or a few hairs at the topfront. Synthetic hairs like from wigs. Either way, they have my total support. Carol S
