Beehive cap

Introducing the Beehive Cap, a delightful knitting pattern that meets all the essential criteria for hospital chemo caps while bringing a touch of fun to your knitting projects. This quick knit is suitable for a variety of yarns and head sizes, making it a versatile addition to your repertoire!

Hospitals continuously seek warm and comfortable hats for newborns and cancer patients of all ages. To ensure that these hats provide comfort and support, they should adhere to the following key guidelines:

• Be crafted from natural, breathable materials.
• Be machine washable and dryer-safe for easy care.
• Incorporate a brim or unique shaping to divert attention from hair loss.
• Be soft, beautiful, and suitable for patients of all ages.

The Beehive Cap is thoughtfully sized to fit a range of heads: baby (14in/35cm circumference), toddler, child, adult small, adult medium, and adult large. Each size measures approximately 2in/5cm larger in circumference and 1in/2.5cm taller than the previous size. This hat is designed to fit loosely, so if you prefer a snugger fit, we recommend choosing a size smaller than your usual preference.

This pattern is designated for personal and charity use only, making it a perfect choice for those looking to give back. Our Beehive Cap pattern was originally created for the 20 Hats Project drive, an initiative organized by the Bull City Fiber Loft in Durham, North Carolina. By purchasing this pattern, you contribute to a meaningful cause, as proceeds benefit the NC Cancer Hospital.
