Chemo Cap Info & Links to Patterns
Please consider making a chemo cap for Overlake Cancer Resource Center. The links below contain guidelines for making chemo caps as well as patterns. The menus to the right also contain links to free sewn, knit and crocheted chemo cap patterns. Overlake is currently in need of light cotton chemo caps for spring and summer use. If you find another free pattern that you'd like to add, please contact us.

There are so many children and adults in need of a bright colored cap to wear when they lose their hair to chemotherapy. At a time when their lives are in enough turmoil, perhaps having a cap someone has made just for them, will bring some renewed hope into their life. Please help today.

This is a collection of patterns and links to patterns to make headcoverings, and some tips. Some of the patterns that I link to are charity patterns, and they ask that if you use them for personal use, that you make an extra and give it to a charity. I think that's a lovely thought, and encourage everyone to do so.

My plan is to distribute the caps to hospitals, oncology offices, hospices, etc. so that they can more readily be available to those who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy. But to make it work, I need volunteers to help with the production and distribution. Won't you consider joining me?
If you are interested and would like more information (including 'Head Huggers Guidelines' and patterns), please explore this site then contact me.
