Turban for a friend

I knit this turban for a friend at work who is going thru the cancer ringer. The pattern is Lindy's Knitted Turban Chemo Hat.  I used my friend's preferred yarn Loops and Threads which is an acrylic yarn.  I would have preferred to use Plymouth Encore but my friend can't handle wool.   I changed up the pattern to worsted weight yarn on size 8 needles over 70 sts.  (Note to self: do the darn swatch, okay?) 4 stitches to the inch.

I wish I had used sport weight for this turban as I'm worried it will be too warm for my friend.  I really hope she likes it.  She's a beekeeper so that's why I used yellow and black.
