Kaiser Permanente needs hats for chemo patients. Although they do not have strict guidelines, we come up with a few to help you.
- Hats may be knit or crochet (chemocaps.org, knots of love)
- Use non-irritating yarn (Malabrigo, Manos del Uruguay, Modern Cotton, Berroco Ultra Wool, Ella Rae, nearly any fingering/sock weight yarn)
- Avoid bulky seams
- Choose a stitch pattern that is dense enough to provide warmth and covering. Avoid lacy stitch patterns
- Don't expose the yarn to strong fragrances or smoke
We are collecting chemo caps throughout the month of April. Please place each clean cap in a sealed ziplock back.
