I don’t know anyone irl who might be vaguely interested so I thought I’d post here! I’m making this hat for my MIL when I see her in a few weeks. It’s a free pattern and you can find it here.

    Weirdly I only learnt to knit because my mum and friend are both having chemo and they wanted cozy hats (and my mum wanted a “chemo cardigan” which is obviously a bigger ordeal!) I definitely recommend Sirdar no.1 for bald heads. It’s 50:50 acrylic and nylon - so lovely and soft but still super easy to work with.

    I made this for my mum but she said it was too childish - I was more than happy to take it for myself 😂 and I made this for my friend.

    I’m much better at crochet. This is my pièce de résistance from last Christmas, again for my MIL who loves silly hats!

      Those are all great hats! I really like the first one with the bubble pattern.

        Here you go, it’s free! I adapted the pattern to a 1x1 rib, folded brim (at least 4x the length of the brim in the photo) and I used Sirdar no.1 chunky for the navy and white, and 2 strands of Sirdar no.1 DK for the blue and green-blue. I ditched a bubble round too as I didn’t want it too slouchy.
