My most recent FO isn’t much to look at: it’s just a simple hat, in k2, p2 rib, in a rather drab shade of brown.
Oh, but to touch it! Soft, lightweight, and incredibly warm, the hat’s made of qiviut.
What prompted me to dive into my dwindling stash of fingering-weight qiviut? A friend going through chemo.
Let’s hope she likes her new hat.

That brought tears to my eyes, both for the beauty and generosity of the hat, and the reason the recipient needs it. Love what you did with the top shaping.

Jeez, Karen, no tears, please! If it’s any consolation, the recipient is doing relatively well with the chemo, has a huge community of friends supporting her, and is in good spirits. And she likes her new hat.

Oooh, nice hat. I bet it's feather light too. Sending good thoughts for your friend.

wow, what a great friend you are. I went through chemo, and would have loved a baby soft hat like that.
