I don’t know anyone irl who might be vaguely interested so I thought I’d post here! I’m making this hat for my MIL when I see her in a few weeks. It’s a free pattern and you can find it here.

    I would wear that. I shave my head so I appreciate a cozy hat, plus grey and orange are my jam.

      Weirdly I only learnt to knit because my mum and friend are both having chemo and they wanted cozy hats (and my mum wanted a “chemo cardigan” which is obviously a bigger ordeal!) I definitely recommend Sirdar no.1 for bald heads. It’s 50:50 acrylic and nylon - so lovely and soft but still super easy to work with.

      I made this for my mum but she said it was too childish - I was more than happy to take it for myself 😂 and I made this for my friend.

      I’m much better at crochet. This is my pièce de résistance from last Christmas, again for my MIL who loves silly hats!
