My Sweet Momma who
lost her battle with Breast Cancer July 16, 2013.
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.
