Looking For a Finished Beanie?

If you are undergoing chemotherapy and want a special order created and sent to you at no cost, we've got you covered!
Please email your favorite colors, approximate head size, and your address to: info@knotsoflove.org
We will get your special order made as fast as we can!
Shipping is free anywhere in the United States.
‍

Choosing The Right Yarn & Patterns

If you are creating chemo caps/beanies/hats for people going through chemotherapy, please be sure to use a yarn from our Approved Yarn List (PDF). We have spent over a decade working with people going through chemo and testing countless yarn brands and product lines to save you time and money -- and to ensure we provide the softest, most comfortable hats to people in need.
‍
If you use a pattern for your Knots of Love submissions that you find elsewhere, that's great! Just please be sure the pattern is not a lacy one or see-through because most people experiencing treatment-induced hair loss do not want their skin to show through or be exposed to the elements.

Ready to send your hats to us for distribution to hospitals, cancer treatment centers, and infusion centers? Great! Click here to get started!

Head Sizes

Please use this chart to determine what size cap you would like to make. The height noted is the total height of the hat including the brim.

Size: Small | Circumference: 18-20 in. | Height: 6.5 to 7 in.
Size: Medium | Circumference: 20-22 in. | Height: 7 to 8 in.
Size: Large | Circumference: 22-24.5 in. | Height: 8 to 10 in.
