I've made a whole bunch of hats for a friend of mine who is taking chemotherapy (well, she's just finished actually) -- mostly the ones which look like biker caps and scrub caps. (those are her favorite styles). She has a wedding to go to in a month, so we're looking at more dressy alternatives--
anyone have any ideas? If you have any free online patterns to suggest, that would be great! :) She IS very particular that her whole bald head be covered, including the back part of her upper neck.
Oh, and not knitted/crocheted, but rather SEWING patterns are what we're looking for! Thanks for any suggestions! :)

She doesn't like the turban style, since she feels it doesn't cover as much of her head as she'd like, she does wear them to bed though.

Sheila I don't know of any free patterns but Simplicity pattern 2494 has a real cute turben style and McCalls number 4116 has a cute turben as well. I have used the McCalls pattern for chemo hats for a friend and it's a good one.
