Loving someone who is dealing with something as scary and life disrupting as cancer can leave you feeling pretty helpless. Since my mom’s sudden, out-of-the-blue, completely unexpected colon cancer diagnoses, I’ve turned to the only thing I know to do, crochet. So I made these crochet for cancer printables to help others, too.
Mom has more crochet chemo caps on the way than she’ll ever know what to do with – and her current regimin doesn’t include hairloss – but still, I hope in some tiny way it helps her. It helps me to make them. It makes me feel like I’m doing something at a time that I’ve never felt more helpless.
I know we’re not alone – so many people face cancer every day – leaves you wish you could do SOMETHING.
You have yarn and a crochet hook, so if you’re like me, that something might be to crochet chemo caps, prayer shawls, blankets….something.
How to Use the Crochet for Cancer Printable
Or maybe you just want to use your stash and crochet for a charity – either way, I have these little handmade care instruction card printables – they’re free, print them as many times as you wish for your own personal use (aka: don’t sell them cause that would be wrong and weird) – include them with your handmade item.
You can print 10 to one page and there are faint cut lines to help you quickly turn one sheet of paper into 10 little cards, complete with a caring message, a cancer ribbon, and care instructions. Highlight the appropriate care instructions with a highlighter or circle them with a pen and tuck them in to your handmade gift.
These are broad cancer printables – meaning you can use them for sewn or knit projects as well.
