My son has asked me to make a chemo cap for a friend of a friend. The friend saw the doo-rag I made for my son out of Boise State fabric & thought the friend going through chemo would love one. Since I have no idea the size of this woman's head, I thought I would just make a triangular scarf for her that would fit regardless of her head size.
Or should I make it square instead of a triangle? I looked on the 'net and found some for sale that were either 30", 32" or 36" squares that wrapped around and were tied behind the head. Seems to me a 36" square would be awfully big.
Do you think that would be a feasible way to make a quick cap for someone you don't know?
I've made 3 doo-rags for my son, none of which has fitted him exactly the way he wants it. One from a pattern I bought, two more from tearing apart a store-bought doo-rag and using that for a pattern. He thinks all of them are too big, but it's really hard to alter a pattern like that with curved seams and get it to come out right.
