Hats or Head Wraps for cancer patient?

Question

My husbands aunt is going to be starting chemo next tuesday and is going to be going through the treatments throughout the holiday seasons.

She insist that she dont want a wig, so me and my mil are wanting to make her a wide variety of wraps, do rags, and hats.

Does anyone know of any links that might help us get started in making her some decorative head apperal?

Answer 1

hmmmm.. get her some cheap bandanas from hobby lobby.
they are cute and affordable.
also but some cute hats to support her favorite team...cute colors...even a hat supporting cancer.

she can look stylish and shell feel good about herself too

Answer 2

There are sites that sell "chemo" hats, some of them very cute, and others just ok. I found some beautiful silky material at the local fabric shop and made a square scarf by heming all the edges. It was my most favorite because it was soft, and went with a lot of outfits. I also knit a couple of hats. I prefer hats that don't fit real close and with scarves you can adjust for a little fullness with the fabric. Whatever you find be careful of seams that might irritate or fabric that might itch. Its surprising how sensitive a bald head is.

Yes, I do.

If you know how to knit, you are in good shape because you need size 13 double pointed needles.

Yes, not all of them work for an adult, but look at the VARIETY!!! And hats can be done in a very short amount of time, no more than a day or two in most cases.

Don't know how to knit? Maybe you now have a reason to learn, and a new hobby to do while you relax and watch TV, and in the wintertime, have something to put under the tree at your local church, or in my case, something to put under someone else's Christmas tree as I light my menora.

Yes, she can find a pattern at any fabric store, Wal-Mart, Joanne Fabrics, detailed instructions on how to put them together will be found in pattern, or u can visit the nearest Amer. Cancer Society and ask if u can look thru their variety of hats, scarfs, do-rags, etc., and the best thing is the FREE.

Answer 9

Hats, headwraps, in greek, Aztec, Chinese and Roman cultures is a sign of surrendering to sickness and giving up and it doesn't seem like you want to do that. Or do you...Thats what I though.
