Reversible Chemo Cap

ties in back


Pattern by Judy Danz of Sew About Quilting

Also see: Other Clothing Patterns

This beautiful chemo cap pattern was generously donated by Judy Danz of Sew About Quilting, and printed here with permission. It is reversible, and fast and easy to make. Adjust the tie length to your own taste. Use soft cotton or cotton flannel for comfort. For formal wear, make a non-reversible hat with an outer shell of velvet. Decorate with rhinestones.

Visit Judy's site for fabulous "stack and slice" quilt patterns. Make a beautiful quilt in an afternoon, using the stack and slice method. A great way to use fat quarters!
