What Are The Best Yarns For Making Chemo Hats?

This is a very good Question.

I have made many Chemo hats and beanies,

 for my mom and for other's. The main thing when making these hats,  is that the yarn needs to be soft.

They will need Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter Chemo hats.

My mom's head would get cold, even in the summer

 in the air conditioning.

Another thing to remember is when People are

 going through Chemo treatments, their hair falls out

 rather quickly and can leave their heads a little sensitive.

The Yarns I recommend are:

Caron simply Soft

Red Heart Soft

Red Heart Soft Essentials

Hobby Lobby Soft Secret

Lion Brand Homespun

I Love This Cotton / Hobby Lobby

Bernat Cotton
Ice Creme Baby Lion Brand

There are many more acceptable Yarns,

 these are just my favorites for Chemo hats.

And No! It does not have to be pink.

Don't use yarns that are bumpy, rough or

 have metallic or satin thread running through them.

or have loose threads or hairs.

These can be scratchy or uncomfortable on

 hairless heads.

How to test a yarn if it will work for a

 Chemo Hat or beanie. 

Rub the yarn against your upper arm.
not your cheek...you maybe wearing make up.

If it isn't soft on your arm, it will not be soft 

on their head.

So Now that I know what yarn to use, 

What Pattern do I use?

You can actually use just about any crochet or knit

pattern you would like. There is no set hat pattern that 

has to be used. Just make sure to match your 

yarn weight with the pattern.
