- Think what a baby, child or teen would like in terms of the hats,
infants to 16 years old. Heads left bald by chemotherapy can be very
sensitive. A soft hat with little texture and no seams will feel the
best.
- Small kids love bright colors, and logos of characters. Boys love
black, navy and gray. There is a large demand for small children (ages
3-5) and GIRLS...because these hats are so hard to find in the stores.
- If you make a hat, please do not sew on small items (choking hazard).
- The hats must be NEW, because the kid's immune systems have been
destroyed.
- There are lots of hat patterns online and in books.
- Use soft yarn or cotton Many people are allergic to wool and fabric
softeners, so please avoid these.
- Don't worry if you are new to hat-making. Can you wash/dry it?
Is it soft? Did it come from the heart? Then it's
PERFECT!
- If we can make hats, anyone can make hats! We went online,
got the
instructions on basic crochet, and practiced until we came up with a
good beanie pattern!
