Red chemo cap
This is the first chemo cap I made in 2014. I made it with Berrocco Comfort (donated by Berrocco). I love the yarn because it is so soft. The pattern is called Christian's Hat
Handmade knit, crocheted, or sewn caps can be sent to: Baltimore-Chesapeake Head Huggers Group, 530 Chalet Drive. W., Millersville, MD 21108

I want to share a thank you note I got from a nurse at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore:
"I am a nurse at the Cancer Institute at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore and happily received a package of your loving and generous hats from your wonderful program, One of my patients was given one last night and was so thrilled. They are really beautiful and as a craftsy person I appreciate the time that goes into this work.
Thanks again, Keep up the good work.
