Are you looking for my hat patterns? Head Huggers has many great ideas for the knitter, crocheter and the sewer in all of all. http://www.headhuggers.org/

Do you knit? Crochet? Sew? Would you like to use this skill to help someone who has undergone hair loss due to chemotherapy, brain surgery, burn wounds, etc.? I am embarking on a project to do just that, and would like to invite you to join me.
