From The Heather Spoll "No Hair Day" Hat Collection
Size:
child’s (ladies small, ladies large)Materials: 2 skeins of a soft SPORT weight yarn. Set of double-pointed needles: size 5, and 1 stitch marker. Use different sized needles if needed to yield the desired gauge.
Gauge: 5.5 stitches = 1 inch.
Cast on 90, (100, 110) stitches. Divide them evenly between 3 of the double-pointed needles. Place marker, and join, being careful not to twist the stitches. Work in stockinette stitch (knit every round) until total length is 7½ (8, 8½ ) inches, ending at the marker. On the next round, begin decreasing as follows:
Round 1: (knit 8, k2tog) repeat around.
Round 2: (knit 7, k2tog) repeat around.
Round 3: (knit 6, k2tog) repeat around.
Round 4: (knit 5, k2tog) repeat around.
Round 5: (knit 4, k2tog) repeat around.
Round 6: (knit 3, k2tog) repeat around.
Round 7: (knit 2, k2tog) repeat around.
Round 8: (knit 1, k2tog) repeat around.
Round 9: (k2tog) repeat around.
Cut the yarn leaving a 12" tail, thread it through the remaining stitches, draw up tightly, and secure. Weave in all ends.

We appreciate the time and love it takes to knit these caps. The caps are very special... they take with them a message of love and caring sent by those who knit them! We place the caps in cancer centers, hospitals and doctor’s offices as gifts for women and children receiving chemotherapy. Our project is big, with a wonderful goal, and you are part of it… a circle of people caring about people! Our heartfelt thanks to you!
