How To Crochet An Easy Mesh Cloche Bucket Chemo Cap

Welcome to Krissys Over The Mountain Crochet and Crafts. I designed this easy to crochet cloche, with chemo patients in mind. I am fighting breast cancer, but I haven't lost my hair. It has spurned me on to create beautiful and functional #chemocaps for those who have.

The band that is right below the crown is designed for those that may want a bit of coverage, but the mesh is for airflow. #chemohat

The brim is designed with a bit of flare. You can make an extended brim, so that it will roll up for a face framing effect.

The brim is sturdy enough to hold embellishments. I will show you how to add all three arrangements to this cloche.

The fabric of the hat has a good bit of stretch to it.

There are two sizes
1. Adult - small thru large.
2. Child size.

If you go to the 9:00 minute mark, I will explain the round where you can eliminate the increases, so that it makes a Child size.

I recommend making a gauge swatch using a G–6/4.0mm crochet hook. Here are the instructions.
GAUGE:
4” x 4” = 17 st’s across x 13 rows high
Make a swatch, ch27, hdc in 2nd chain from hook and in each ch across, ch1 & turn:
Hdc in each st across, ch1 and turn repeat 15x

Here is a link to the written pattern, that also has the instructions on how to make this in a child's size.

While I was at my oncologist I asked them what was best for chemo patients, and the mentioned light weight hats for the warmer months. I chose Lion Brand Cobbo yarn. The yarn is lovely. So light and soft. It does split just a bit, but it wasn't that hard to work around. I have heard it from good authority that it should be hand washed, and laid flat to dry, in order for the yarn to keep it's beauty.

The Mesh Chemo Cap Beanie is very easy and uses #lionbrandcoboo Yarn as well. Below is a video tutorial that shows you how.
