Sewing beanies became important to me when my mum was diagnosed with cancer. However, finding a stylish and easy-to-follow PDF pattern proved to be difficult as a beginner. Eventually, I found a free pattern on sewing org that had great measurements, but the instructions were confusing. Fortunately, our admin and sewing guru, Kiraleigh, helped me reword the instructions and perfect the pattern.
With my mum's beanie in hand, my daughters wanted one just like grandma's. So, we decided to include children's sizing and drafted the pattern with help from the amazing Liz from Thread Faction Studio. We hope this pattern can be a helpful resource for those who may need fool-proof instructions to make beanies for loved ones going through a difficult time.
We were moved by the support we received from the Fabric by Missy Rose Facebook Group. This small act of sewing and giving back to those in our local community is one way we can all make a difference. While we designed it to be a gift for loved ones, friends, and those who need a little extra heroism in their lives, we kindly ask that you do not use it for profit. Let's spread the love, one handmade Hero Halo at a time!

Thank you! Having been diagnosed recently with Breast Cancer and starting chemo I have printed this out to sew up. Funny I coped with losing my breast but losing my hair was been quite traumatic which seems to be the case with many women. Best wishes for anyone going through chemo 💕
Tears flooding my eyes. My older sister (79 on 12-24-18) recently diagnosed & just beginning chemo. She lives in Florida, I live in Oklahoma & I “sew” but struggle. With my stash of fabric (daydreams) I hope to bring her some beauty & laughs using this pattern. May God bless you for sharing all around the world, literally.
I’m just wondering if you could recommend fabric that would be suitable for Hero Halo,
Thanks
