and the little hair that she does have, makes her look like she is wearing a little toupee! (Strangely enough, I don't seem to have a picture of the back of her head, and she is sleeping, so you'll just have to take my word for it on this one.) So, when I saw the pattern for the "No-Hair-Day" Hairy Chemo Cap, I just had to make her a baby hat wig. (I realize my cause is much less altruistic...but what better way to use obnoxious bright blue Fun Fur than to bring out my little one's bright blue eyes?)
In order to make the "hat" fit Baby K, I used size US 8 needles (instead of size US 9s) and only knit until the hat measured about 5-5.5" from the cast on edge. Then I worked decreases on every row to finish it up (no "Rounds 2, 4, 6, and 8: Knit," business). I wanted it to be small enough to fit her head now, but big enough for her to play dress-up with as she gets older because what little girl wouldn't want a chance to have bright blue spiky hair?
