Happy New Year to Everyone! Let's hope its a healthy, hopeful year for us all!
Here are some pictures of my latest batch of chemo hats. I actually finished these back in late October or early November & took them to the cancer center. But I was in the middle of some bag babble, so I didn't talk about them yet!
I was trying to get a little more adventurous with the yarn types I've been using. So I pulled out some chenille yarns. They blended very well with the regular yarns & came out soft & cuddley. I'm not a big fan of chenille, but I have a ton of it from a yarn store going out of business sale.
I also pulled out some fun confetti-type yarns. They have lots of fluff on them & look rather fuzzy & cuddley. Not a fun yarn to work with, but I don't have too much of it either! I think the hats came out fun! I'm sure someone out there will love them!
I also resorted to one of my favorite basic patterns, the spiral helix. It is such a great way to use up those yarns & I made quite a few that way! They just look so interesting & its better than a plain boring hat! Like the hats I made in the beginning! There are a couple with a regular ribbed hem, but most have the soft rolled brim that I like so much!
I currently have 7 hats in the basket, but as mentioned before, I like to give them in even dozens. So, just a few more & they'll be making their way to the cancer center too!

Happy New Year! I love your chemo hats! I am getting ready to make another batch myself and I think I will branch out from the "No Hair Day Hairy Chemo Caps" and make a couple of different ones this time. I love that helix spiral pattern you have! Where did you get the pattern? Was it off one of the charity knitting websites? I would love to make a couple of those, they are so cute! Happy Knitting!
