Thank you for checking in… This cause means so much to me!!! Praise God we can all join together to help each other! I hope you enjoy the hat!!!
Hello just started crochet and can along this pattern and for a amazing cause. I have decided to donate to our Cancer hospital.
Can you tell me the best weight worset to use ex. #3,#4
Thank you for this pattern
Actually #4 is worsted and I like Caron Simply soft for cancer patients… But any soft worsted is good… #3 is DK weight and will make it to small…
What a great pattern and a fabulous cause! I know Kay is smiling down on you!!
Thanks Kathy!

What a lovely way to honor your friend. I really like the name of the Hat. Back in 2011 I did a series of hat patterns based on the Love chapter.
Thank you Sara… I would like to see that hat series… is it on your blog still?

This is really cute! Nice job!
Very pretty hat! Thanks for linking up on Hookin On Hump Day!
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!!
You are very welcome!
Hey, I just wanted to let you know I will be using your pattern to make hats to donate for raffle at our areas Epilepsy 5K. My sweet 7 year old son battles it. They will be purple and will be adorned with support ribbons and flowers! 🙂 thank you for sharing this pattern in memory of your friend!
Oh how perfect… If you can get a picture and I will post it… you can email me at [email protected]… Love it!
Hey I really want to make this pretty hat! But I don’t under stand this whole decreasing thing.. could you please explain?
Sure no problem… It is just a basic HDC decrease… In row 18 it calls to decrease 6 times evenly.. so you will do a HDC decrease 6 times spaced around the row… If you havent tried a HDC decrease before here is my preferred method…
YO insert hook in next St, Pull up loop. YO and draw through 2 loops on hook. YO insert hook in next ST. Pull up loop. YO and draw through all 4 loops on hook.
You are working 1 HDC over 2 stitches to make a decrease. I hope this helps
Yes it helped a lot! Thank you! Now I shall attempt to make this hat 🙂 also, when it says evenly, like three times evenly, what does that mean? Do I not do it all around? Thanks!
It just means space out 3 decreases… So in the row you are working on,,, make a decrease in 3 separate places so you only have 3 less stitches in that row… other than the decreases you work the regular HDC in all the other stitches.
Wow thanks.. perfect timing! Time to try it! 🙂
Great… I hope it all turns out well for you… Are you going to do the Crochet A Long?
I just made this hat & it turned out beautiful! Very easy and so cute. Some patterns are hard for me as I am left handed, but this was awesome. I want to start making some hats for our local hospital cancer center that just opened. Thanks so much for a great design, I just love it! Amy
Thank you so much and thank you for considering you donations!
Thanks for the pattern, every other year I donate 50 hats to the cancer center using yarn I have left from other projects and this yr I will use this pattern.paying it forward is very rewarding!
Oh how wonderful!!! I hope they turn out well! You are right… but it is sooo rewarding
hi. im having a hard time trying to figure out how to do step 11. what does sp mean
sp means space.,,, so you will make the chain 3 and 2 double crochets in the same space
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for, for an ongoing project for myself, BUT I am a visual learner, is there any chance you have or are planning to have a youtube vid or something similar showing how to make this beautiful hat pattern?
I am glad you like it!! Currently I have no plans for any videos. So sorry.
I saw this pattern on Pinterest and I’ve been looking for easy patterns to make to donate to Halos for Hope. I’m excited to try it. I’m not an expert by any stretch, but I think I can do this! 🙂
Oh Great!! I love that you donate!! Thank you and you should be fine with this pattern…it is pretty easy!
I am a breast cancer survivor. I want to thank everyone who makes these hats for cancer patients. During my “bald days” these hats kept my head warm. it is surprising how cold bed pillows are even in summer. My chemo started in late winter so the hats were a Godsend for me. I especially liked the super soft yarn ones! I am fine now but I will always remember my hats. They kept me warm but they also let me hide my bald head, which so labels you as “cancer patient”, and let me keep my illness private to a degree. Thank all of you ! 🙂
Thank God you are well!!! This is my mission in tribute to my friend who passed from Breast Cancer…I will have more patterns in the series in October again
Thank you so much for sharing. My sister is a breast cancer survivor. We both make hats and prayer shawls for cancer patients and these are great patterns. God bless you for sharing and I know your friend is safely in God’s company smiling and watching over you.
Thank you so much! So glad your sister is a survivor.. and I am blessed my friend is with God and that I will see her again!! I love how many of us are donating our projects.. Bless you both for joining in the effort!
This is a small world! I love your site, and I live in Yreka, CA! l make all kinds of hats and am happy that I found this cute one and it looks like it is an easy one! Thank you for sharing your patterns! 🙂
So glad you found me too… I will have more hat patterns soon!!! I may put together a local crochet meet up in the future. . If your are interested stay tuned here or on my facebook page
I am very new to crocheting and rely heavily on the patterns… I am confused by row 3- what is the repeating pattern? Usually you repeat what is between the (*), but there is only one (*)… Please help!! I love this pattern and love the story behind it!!
Yes… It was missing a *… So it is fixed now and reads Row 3: Ch 1, *2 HDC in 1st St, Hdc in next St,* Around. Join with Sl St to top of 1st HDC. = 30 Hdc
This is a great hat for patience with alopecia. I plan to make some for some and donate them.
That is wonderful!!! Thank you!!
Very nice looking hats ! Could you tell me please if you left off row 27 on the pink hat in the middle at the bottom of the page? I like the looks of it more as it seems to have a less wider edge & I’m thinking of making this hat. Thank you in advance. 🙂
Thank you!! There is only 21 rows, so I am thinking you mean row 21 the Rev Sc row… Yes, it looks like the pink hat does not have that final row… I like to change it up sometimes and make them different sizes, so when donating there is a variety!!
AS I am in Australia, I would like to confirm if this is US or UK pattern. Are the DC really our TR? etc. I can convert – just need to know origin of pattern. Thanks for sharing.
These are US terms. So Yes .. My DC is your TR and so forth… Thank you!!
Hi again, I think I have worked out that it is a US pattern, so can proceed with it. Cheers, Jeanette
Thank you for this beautiful pattern. I too lost a dear friend from breast cancer and will be donating some of the hats made. I have a friend who recently underwent surgery for a brain tumor and was thinking I’d like to make some hats for her in different colors. This fits the bill, perhaps in cotton? Thank you for all the patterns you so freely share with us, it is much appreciated!
So sorry for your loss! I am so happy to hear my patterns are useful and you will be donating! I have made several of these in cotton as well and they are great for summer! Thank you!!
I just made this hat in cotton and it came out so beautiful! All my hats go to charity for cancer patients and this is most certainly going to be one of my new “go to” patterns! Thank you so much for your generosity on sharing this.
Great… I love working with cotton for summer!! Thank you
Could you share what yarn you used in the aqua, green and purple hat. I really love it and am making one for my sister in law who’s dealing with a 2nd bout of cancer.
I think the green and purple was Vannas choice… and the aqua… I cant remember what yarn…
Thank you for the pattern. Initially, when I got this pattern, I thought of making this for my mother who is a 2-time breast cancer survivor. However, I’ve decided to participate in your charity drive!
I do have as “pattern “question. I am now on Row 18. Where you say “6 decreasing”, where am I doing this? Do I choose where I want to do this? Please advise. Thanking you in advance.
Hi Robin,
I am so excited you are participating… Thank you!!
So row 18,, when you see that instruction, decrease evenly around… What that means is to do 6 decreases and try to space them out evenly around the row… so that would be about every 10-11 stitches in this pattern…
I made your shawl, amazing grace for a dear lady that her cancer has returned.
Thank you for that beautiful pattern that God and you designed.
Bless you
Cat24
I Pray your friend gets well soon!! I am sure she loves your gift… Thank you!!
Thanks so much can’t wait to make some, have yarn galore and lots ofpatterns but, who wants to dig thru that I love printing new ones off ,
Love this pattern. I made this & very happy with the result. I have also made your Blissful Beanie & love that too. Next on my list is to make the Blissful Slouchy. Thank you for sharing these great patterns!
Awesome!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your patterns. I have made some hats and shawls for people battling cancer. Your a blessing to me. I am a cancer survivor and crochet as therapy. Praise God for all you do.
Thank you Carol!
I randomly found this pattern. Needless to day a friend of mine started her chemo last Thursday on the 21st and I wanted her to have something comfortable and as colorful as she is. This pattern was PERFECT!!!! The reverse single crochet threw me but thanks to youtube I figured it out. Such a nice edging.
Thanks!!!
Hi!
Thanks so much for this pattern. My question is can this be made into a baby hat? I’ve made prayer shawls and baby blankets from the amazing Grace series and our prayer shawl group will soon start making blankets and hats for babies with cancer. Thanks for your help!
Hi!
I was wondering if this could be made into a baby/child size? I have made prayer shawls and baptism baby blankets from the amazing Grace series for our churches prayer shawl group and soon will be making blankets and hats for Cancer patients.
Thanks!
I am donating to the hat box in the cancer center of my community hospital in honor of my friend who is stage IV. I am using ILTC yarn in several colors, as I was told all cancer patients do not like to wear pink as they consider it a label.
Thank you so much for this pattern. I made one for a dear friend of mine that has cancer and now has lost her hair do to chemo. I am debating on making one for my aunt whom has cancer as well. So Thank you.
.
Thanks For Sharing!!
I’m so happy I found the crochet hat pattern; I want to make some of these to donate to my local cancer center. 3 years ago, I became a Breast Cancer survivor (stage O, I was very fortunate), and my sister was diagnosed with the same thing 2 years before that (also stage O). My mother had it in the early 60’s and was diagnosed very early, but still had a radical mastectomy, as that was all they had, back then. My cousin is now fighting Breast Cancer, which has metastasized to her hip, so now she has bone cancer, as well; I’ll be making the 1st one for her. 🙂
I’ve been wanting to give back to the people who support and care for us, when we’re going through treatment; also, I want to help anyone who is fighting breast cancer, as it doesn’t respect age, race, or anything else.
Thank you! 🙂
Im so happy to have you make one of my patterns! Praying your cousin will recover like the rest of your family has.
