Going into battle . . .

The name of the Brattleboro Hat makes me think Battle, instead of Brattle. Which makes me think this was the perfect pattern to use for a chemo cap. Mami_dearest on Twitter is knitting chemo caps for her cousin Becky who has breast cancer. I offered to help her out and knit a cap.















Yarn : Cotton Ease
Color : Stone
Content : 50% Cotton / 50%Acrylic
Care : Machine wash and dry
Needles : US 8 / 5mm
Pattern : Brattleboro Hat from IK Fall 2010
Modifications : Knit brim as one piece instead of binding off and picking up those stitches again.

Overall, the pattern was really quick. I knit it up in one night. I would have to adjust it to make it larger if I wanted to make one for myself, but I can definitely see using this pattern again. The hat ended up nice and squishy and stretchy . . . everything a hat should be. I would recommend this pattern.

Giving is always better than receiving, many positive thoughts to Becky as she goes through her treatment and kicks cancer's butt.
