Newsboy FREE Crochet Pattern with Brim:
This newsboy crochet cap is very easy to complete and looks great, I love how the Brim is pretty stiff by doing the Half Double Crochet and using 2 strands of yarn.

What size hat does this make?
ReplyDeletethanks for asking
ReplyDeletemy finished newsboy baby beanie hat measures
16-18 inches in circumference and would fit a 6-12 month
medium weight yarn (4.00mm hook)
I am a little confused about the 13 sc stitches at the end of the hat. Are you supposed to turn and start the brim back over the 13? That makes it uneven. Do you start the brim after the 13 stitches?
ReplyDeleteStart the brim after the 13SC This is where you attatch the 2nd strand of the yarn to make the brim stiff! good luck
ReplyDeleteI see that you have 4 dcs in between every fpdc,(from the picture) but that is not how the pattern here reads? What is correct?
ReplyDeleteWhat does fpdc stand for?
DeleteFront Post Double Crochet
DeleteGood Question and well spotted. The pattern is my original for a 6-12 months follow the pattern
ReplyDeleteThe one above was for an 18month old, and I just added one more round of increace for the circumference of the babies head.
Hope that helps :)
What size hook did you use? What changes should I make for a 0-3 months size?
ReplyDeleteI used a 4.00 and double knittig yarn, try using a smaller hook and thinner yarn?
ReplyDeleteI would like to make this for an adult as a gift, how would you increase for the adult size. I think I know, but just want your opinion.
ReplyDeletejust keep adding Increasing the DCs in between the front posts until you get the desired width, then follow the instructions for the shaping (incorporating how many your increased)
Deletelet me know if your okay with that or I can look out for an adults size pattern and post it for you.
I read here in one of your replies that you used a double knitting yarn. I am not familiar with that description. Did you use a worsted weight, sport weight or baby weight. Thanks ahead.

Hi Angie !
Delete8 ply, double knit, dk = worsted weight
I am from South Africa. I am not sure of the abbreviation fpdc. I think your sc is our dc, your dc is our tr, hdc is our htr, but i am stuck on fpdc.
ReplyDeleteThanks
fpdc = front post double crochet (this creates the ridges down the cap)
