I’m modeling a Musselburgh hat by Ysolda Teague. Knit in self striping yarn by Mud Punch in the colourway Dagmar goes to Shetland. The colours in the stripes include light and dark peachy tones, maroon, and three shades of green. I knit this hat for my cousin (in Feb 2024) who was fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer. They sadly passed away in Nov 2024.

I am modeling the Leith Hat that I knit for a friend (in May 2024) who was fighting cancer. He sadly passed away in late August 2025. It is knit in Espace Tricot’s Jolly DK. I think the colourway was Robin’s Egg Blue.
#ShowMeYourKnits prompt this past weekend was knits that brought joy or that I’d knit to care for others. I thought I’d share 2 hats (modeled by me) that I knit for two special people who were fighting cancer. Both have sadly since succumbed to the disease 💔
