Making a Scarf for Someone Having Chemo

I am looking for a pattern for a kind of scarf for my boyfriends mom. She will be starting Chemo on Monday. She hates wigs and she has seen these scarves, she said they are a triangle, with a head band and you can tie it if you want. They are made out of material.

Try the crafster.org site. They have a site "crafting for good" that lists several things you can make for mommas in chemo. Her local cancer support group would be an excellent place to contact also.

This site shows you a dozen different ways you can wrap & wear a scarf:
