MZ Cap

This is a new pattern that I designed as a charity chemo cap. Depending on the colors used it can work well for men or women. It works up very quickly, too.

This (clickable) photo shows the hat made in Caron Simply Soft Brights. For the Mango/Red version I followed the pattern, but used an H hook for a child sized cap. I used an I hook for the Peacock/Grape hat, but the bright colors make it look very different from the original "manly version".
