I am a 12 year breast cancer survivor. In all of my Dr. offices and chemo "room" they had baskets of scarves, etc. that we could have. They were not like these turbans - but more of a lined bandana that fastened in the back. Very nice also. I picked two bright colored ones and wore them at home when I needed to but wore a very scratchy wig when I had to go to school for my then 12-yr old daughter. These look VERY comfortable and useful. What a wonderful thing that you are doing.

This pattern is great because it gives you a little fullness. I had a couple that fit close to the head & I just looked like I had painted color on my bald head.I could never find any that looked cheerful. Pastel colors are good as they keep you from looking so pale & sickly. I had a black one & always felt like I looked like it was going to be my last day so I never wore it. My favorite that I wore to bed was made from a knit that was satin on the outside & sort of flannel on the inside and it wouldn't get stuck on the pillowcase...yes, I wore it to bed because my head would get cold at night. Thanks again for doing this...you are going to add some cheer to someone who needs it!!
God bless you for what you are doing.
