What makes a Sassy Cap?
SOFT
Sassy Caps can be knit, crocheted, or sewn, but they need to feel soft against bare skin – nothing itchy or irritating.
FUN
Sassy Caps are NOT boring. They are in bright, fun colors or patterns with a little bit of flair. Neutral colors are ok if you add a fun accent (like animal print, feathers, or sparkle) to jazz it up and make it sassy.
GIFTS
Sassy Caps are handmade and donated to friends, family, and treatment centers to brighten the day of people undergoing cancer treatment. Each one is packaged and labeled with the name of the volunteer who made it, and recipients often say, “I feel the love in this hat!”
You can make a Sassy Cap any way you like and give it anywhere in the world as long as it fits these three criteria
