Ann's Pink Ribbon Chemo Beanie

Ann's Pink Ribbon Chemo Beanie
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

This Crochet Pattern is dedicated to 
My Sweet Momma who 
lost her battle with Breast Cancer July 16, 2013.

It is very important to keep a 
Chemo patients head covered, 
even during the summer months.
When you lose your hair fast, you sunburn easily, 
and even get a cold head in air conditioning. 
Also, use soft yarns as their head is 
newly "uncovered" and can be very tender.

Some Good yarn choices For This Pattern 
Simply Soft by Caron, 
Soft Secret by Hobby Lobby, 
Red Heart Soft, Red Heart With Love,
  I Love This Cotton by Hobby Lobby.
