Guidelines for Knitters and Knotters

> Approved Yarn List:  Printer-friendly version (PDF)

To protect the health and well-being of our cap recipients, we have a few guidelines for people making Knots of Love caps:

• Must be new.

• Thinner, seamless, non-lumpy caps are good for sleeping and increased comfort.

• No see-through caps. (Patients don’t like to see their bald heads through the caps.)

• Yarn must be fragrance-free, smoke-free and pet hair-free.

• Must be washable.

• Must be made with yarns from our guidelines/approved yarn list.
