collection of cloches
One of my dear friends is currently undergoing chemotherapy, and as if often the case, she is losing her hair. So I crocheted her some caps, cloches and beanies.
The Urban Shells Beanie, in Eki Riva Natal (baby alpaca, silk, nylon):
Crocheted Head Hugger from Golden Hands magazine, in Moda Vera Gardenia:
Divine Hat, in bamboo/cotton/soy blend remnants:
Audrey’s Lace Cap, in NaturallyCaron Spa:
She has been wearing them happily for the past couple of months, and says that they are all so soft. It was something practical that I could do to help. More details on each via my Ravelry “hats” page.
I am sure your friend will love them all. I hope that she goes through her treatment with as little disruption as possible to her health. I think the divine hat is just beautiful, and the others are really pretty too. I am sure she will be needing them very much during winter!
They are all absolutely beautiful. It’s very difficult to choose a favourite. I am very envious of your ability to crochet. I must dig out my old Golden Hands magazines…only have a couple….
What a lovely thing to do for your friend – so nice that she has such a range of hats to choose from. I really like the Divine Hat – may have to add that one to my Ravelry queue. I hope the chemo does the trick and she recovers from it quickly.
What a fabulous idea! These look very funky. She is lucky to have a friend in you.
Thanks for posting this Lara. I think I might need some help to get the Divine hat started. I really like that one and I think it’d be practical for a fashion-gal who has to do farm chores – it looks like the right balance of snug and stylish. In the meantime, I’m off to check out the other pattern links. The lacy one is a good going-to-town one.
Has your friend mentioned whether she prefers one fibre over another (for comfort on a head without hair)? The bamboo/coton/soy looks lovely and soft.
I’m going up to stay with S in early June, so I’d best get hookin’….
What a cold time of year to be without hair. They are all beautiful, and what a wonderful gift – so much more thought and love has gone into each one than if they were store bought. Wishing your friend all the best with her treatment.
They’re all so beautiful. So many gorgeous gifts for your precious friend.
What a lovely and practical idea for your friend. She must look stunning in all those cloches. Well done.
What a great friend you are! The hats are all so beautiful… the head-hugger is my favourite. Best wishes to your friend for a complete and speedy recovery too.
I can’t pick a favorite – it’s so easy to see they were made for love. Hope your friend is improving every day. Lx
What a wonderful gift. I think my favorite is the Divine Hat.
what a thoughtful thing to do 🙂 she will love them. i hope everything works out for your friend. cheers
