A dear friend of mine is adjusting to life with no hair, she asked me if I would knit her a hat and of course I said I would.
I had some Naturally Sensation leftover from my GarterYokeCardy - merino/angora - it's the softest thing I could find in my stash for her delicate scalp.
The yarn has a little bit of a halo so we chose this pattern and kept it simple.
I made a couple of small mods to account for a different weight yarn. I listed them here.
Today I finished it off and went to my local treasure trove thrift shop to find a button. The owner got out her "special box of buttons" to find me something just right.
I hope my friend likes it

The hat is beautiful Gabes and what a seriously good friend you are. Wishing your friend all the best. xx
Lovely colour, perfect button, great hat! I'm sure your friend will love it.
Yes, great colour, fab button - she will love it. x
You are a wonderful and thoughtful friend! The color matches your eyes! Very pretty!
Beautiful hat, sure to be a winner!
She will love it! At a time like this the kindness of friends is so important. Hope she she has a full recovery.
Great hat...the button looks like it was destined to be with the hat, it just goes so well.
love the colour. I have a button exactly the same!
Really really cute! The button is just perfect.
Oooooh! The hat is SO cool - and your readers are so right - what a lucky friend you have. Seems to me that you deserve at least a free trip to the movies when the second "Twilight" movie is at the movies later this year!
Beautifull!! I love the color, and the shape...
