Mission: Knitting is proven to lower blood pressure and has other benefits similar to those derived from Yoga and meditation. These findings prompted the design and publication of a knitting pattern that takes into account the specific needs of a person with temporary hair loss. This pattern is available for patients and loved ones to knit their own practical and beautiful hat. The Betseys Bonnets Chemo Cap pattern is included in the knitting kits that have sensitive scalp friendly yarns. The pattern is also available free by request. BBonnets.org has a large variety of styles in hundreds of colors that are offered for sale or donation via the Internet, telephone or fax. The charity strives to support its 100% volunteer run and operated corporation with opportunities to enhance wellness of body and spirit for both those who give, and those who receive. With this in mind, the BBonnets.org Guest House was introduced in 2006. The guest house offers patients and their families visiting Seattle (an estimated 80% of those seeking medical care in Seattle), the option to have a home away from home with this self-catering, and affordable place to stay.
