Knitted Newsboy Cap Pattern

I've been through the same, only it was me with the cancer and my partner taking wonderful care of me. I used knitting as a great meditative, calming, distraction from the stress, pain, and worry. Perhaps you could teach her! Regarding the newsboy cap. I found a great one called "kap" on the berrocco site. It can be pulled down to cover more head area. I found a more traditional one with matching fingerless gloves on the purple kitty site. Just search for purple kitty, and click on hat patterns which appears in a list under the search term purple kitty yarns and needlework, then page down a few times until you see the hats. The newsboy cap is listed under knitted hat patterns. You might want to knit in cotton or baby alpaca or something very soft and non-itchy. Besides the hat pattern advice, please excuse the next piece of advice. Go to a caregiver's support group. I think it was harder on my partner than it was on me (two stem cell transplants). But I got all the attention and support and she got very little. Best wishes to you both.

My partner has cancer and would like me to knit or crochet her a newsboy cap. I am not having any luck finding a pattern online. Any feedback would be appreciated. She saw one in a special needs order catalog but can't afford to buy it so I am trying to help her out by making one. She already has some yarn for one. She used to do needle projects but has no energy to do so any longer. THANK YOU in advance, GRANDMA GLO
