[Nfb-krafters-korner] chemo caps

[Susan Roe]

Since the hat will be worn during the summer, it shouldn't be a fitting as a 
winter hat and a cotton or cotton blend would be cooler.  Don't think of 
winter coverage, a hat/cap that covers the hair line in the back, a bit over 
the ears and then mid forehead or slightly higher would settle nice for 
summer comfort.
