I'd be glad to sew one and mail it to you/her. Please PM me with your address. The OR hats are really comfortable, as I wore them for 10 hr/day for 10 years, but I also had hair. Hey, it might be a change of pace for her! Sara

I like what Jerrie posted especially the knit one. This would be really nice made in Minky fabric. Nice & soft. I use to have a bandana scarf with sort of a quilted top. The quilted part came over your ears & was at least 6 inches wide , then the tails to tie. It was a little bigger than most bandannas. I will try & draw you a pattern of what I'm talking about if you like.

Thanks! It is hard trying to figure out which style she would like. I know most of them are probably comfortable with hair, but hard to say which one would be w/out hair!

I went on the internet and pulled up doo-rag patterns and so forth. Just wondering how comfy they are on soft heads?! Looking for ideas... I don't want to make something and find out that it itches her head. She would like me to make a bunch and I know you ladies/gents have suggestions or have made them before and know which ones are good and which ones aren't.

Here are directions for the comfort hats. I made several for the local cancer center a few years ago, they gave them to the ladies in treatment. I made them 2 ply to be reversible and there were no seams to itch or scratch. Used T-shirt knitand also soft cottons. Ruth
