Coming Soon! A FREE chemo hat pattern: Lilian!

So I was inspired by an unnamed person to continue doing what I do best - offering FREE chemo hat patterns. This pattern has been under works for a while. I will dedicate it to my cancer sister and it is named in her honor. Here is a sneek peek at the Lilian!

This is only my second prototype, I am still trying to work out the kinks. 

Hat Pattern

You may read here why I had to remove the patterns and why they are no longer free http://snipriphooray.blogspot.com/2017/01/good-deeds-will-not-go-unpunished.html

120 Scarves and Hats

Please use alternative patterns listed here http://snipriphooray.blogspot.com/2017/09/substitute-patterns.html 

I missed an original milestone I had set for myself. I wanted to make and donate 100 headcoverings  with my free chemo scarf pattern and see if I would want to continue from there. I missed the 100 scarf and hat mark and I still have a bunch of material left. I guess I must have hoarding tendencies when it comes to fabric and I will always find an excuse to purchase more. In the last batch of pre tied chemo scarves and hats I got really bored while sewing with solids. The hats were a bit more fun but I am still not quite happy how they are turning out.

More hats

Since I used scraps to make my hats they often ended up having two seams. And to hide those seams I made headbands/hatbands. I played around with different styles based on how much fabric I had to work with. I'll try to add the pattern I used soon too.

Even more scarves and a few hats

I made some more scarves and found that I had just enough scraps to make some hats as well. For the hat pattern I used the pattern by idareyoutoeatit.com . I had to modify the pattern because my knit behaved differently and I used lining so my hats were assembled differently but it's still a basic beanie pattern.

More scarves

Here are a few more that I made from different polyester knits. The purpose of the elastic in the back is to be able to gather the large amount of fabric. The stretch comes from the knit fabric itself, just make sure you place the pattern on the fabric so that stretch is in the same direction as straight hem.

The only difference to the original Free chemo scarf pattern is that I made the scarf ends pointy since it makes it easier to do the rolled hem.
The crushed velour came from Fashion Fabrics Club, all other fabrics were from FabricMart
