Nifty Newsboy Hat Crochet Pattern
Imagine the short about Winnie the Pooh and the blustery day. Now, before we go any further, have you got that mental image in your head? Well imagine that every single time you step outside your home you encounter such a windy day. And what’s even better is the wonderful (note the sarcasm) affects it can have on naturally curly hair! In my case, this nightmare has become a daily occurrence.
Every year around July/August we get such huge gusts of wind howling around every corner, that it ends up creating quite a magical yet eery sound.
So currently I have a love-hate relationship with our brisk winter days, but I think with this Newsboy hat to keep my curls in place, I might be leaning slightly more towards love!
Do you like blustery days?

Have a lovely day crocheting,
It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love it……thanks a lot for sharing your great talent.
Thank you! 😀
Por que se cae la bisera?
Alguien sabe?
I don't have 14ply, so what can you use to make up the same as 14ply wool?
You could crochet with 3 strands of DK yarn instead of 1 strand of 14ply yarn 🙂
thank you….love love love the newsboy!!!
Oh this is so cute i really like it! 🙂
Hi Olivia, Neat hat! You are so creative! I have a pattern similar but have never tried it. I started a crochet blog the other day craftdid.blogspot.com if you want to check it out. If you have any tips for me I would love to hear them. I love your blog. I check it every day to see what new patterns you have!

super, super, super. Thank you.
your blog is so cute and you are very pretty! great projects, bellissimi!
Love this hat! How many yards will I need to do an adult size hat using the super bulky yarn?
Hi Olivia! Your work is awesome! Do you by any chance have a video of this hat. I just do awful reading the instructions. I have looked everywhere for a video of this hat. I like the way this one fits on your head. Would you ever consider doing a completes video tutorial on this hat? Thanks, Cynthia Farmer

I'm following this video tutorial on newsboy hat.
Hay video de este patrón gracias
Thanks for this lovely free pattern…I have made 4 already! Christmas isn't too far away! 🙂
Am about half way through this pattern and it looks kind of small. Any chance I could get the gauge you used? Thanks!
I thought it was going to be tiny too but,I kept trying it on and it was great! It fits like a glove. I used lion brand chunky yarn and a L Boyle brand hook.
Cute as can be, and so easy, too!
This pattern is so cute! Thanks for sharing! You are so beautiful!
Thank you Vanessa!
I love this!!!! Do you happen to recall what gauge yarn you used?
This pattern is so cute! Thanks for sharing! You are so beautiful! i will share it on my blog: http://www.incehesap.com/ekran-karti-fiyatlari/
I made one of these today with #6, 170g bulky weight yarn I have, and a 10mm hook, and it is huge! lol. Way too big, probably by 2 to 3 inches. I'm going to try reducing the pattern a bit. I'm new to crochet, so it could be poor technique on my part too. I'm happy it looks like a hat! lol 🙂
Mine too. By how many stitches did you reduce it?
I used a 9mm with the same yarn you used and it came out perfectly. Sometimes it's easier to use a smaller hook then reducing the pattern.
Pretty so is the hat!
Thank you so much for the pattern. I made this today, the pattern was so easy to follow and my hat turned out great!
Thanks for sharing your lovely hat pattern ~ My daughter loved it ~ She is pretty like you, with really long hair and it looked good on her =)
OMG THIS IS AWESOME ♡ THANK YOU X
Your pattern instructions are not clear for the first few stitches of round 3. I'm going to do what I know to be correct for increasing in the round for this kind of pattern.
Ok I would love to make this but I need help how many chains do I make it a row ? I serious have to learn how to read patterns is there anyway you can make this readable for dummies like me lol the hat looks awesome I really want to do it
I too am a bit hung up on round 3 however this is my first attempt at a pattern & hat. I'm guessing you do 1 half double crochet in the next stitch. Then do 2 half double crochets in the stitch (3rd) after that???? Help!
Yes, that is correct!
Also, does each part of the chain count as a stitch for round 3? Sorry I'm such a newbie.
The chains at the start of a round count as the first stitch 🙂
Awesome!! So excited! Thanks a ton!
Hello! I live this hat and want to make it to match a scarf I just made but I am having a hard time starting it off 🙁 (i'm a major beginner) Is there a turorial I can watch to help me? Thanks! 🙂
This is such an awesome pattern!! Thank you so much for sharing it for free! i'm just finishing my second hat (the first one came out funky because i made mistakes at joining the seam) and i absolutely LOVE it, it's so cute, i plan on making a more for my sisters! i didn't have the right sized hook, only an 8mm, so i added an extra 2 stitches in round one and then had to do some mental gymnastics to work the brim since i then had 6 more stitches at that point than you did, but it came out perfect. Thank you again Olivia! ♥ ♥
Hi ! Your pattern is soooo lovely !
I was wondering if you'd remember the gauge (maybe you wrote it somewhere) so we could ajust your wonderful pattern to any yarn =D it would be great !
Thank you in advance ^^/
I have been looking for this pattern for quite a while. Can't wait to start this pattern. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the Newsboy hat pattern as I have been looking of this! L
Hi Olivia
Im hung up on this part
"Start of by attaching your yarn to the back of the hat, right in the middle.
Round 1~ Chain 1. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into the next 17 stitches. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 20 stitches. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into every stitch till the end of the round. Slip Stitch into the top of chain 1.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends."
where exactly do I attach yarn.. bottom edge? Ive made most of the hat so far and its so adorable! Also I used a 9mm hook since I dont have a 10 and the hat fits me perfect.
I'm hung up on the same part. PLEASE HELP
If you notice, the round before this one, you began in the 14th st and crocheted into 14 stitches (2 stitches you crocheted into 2x's making 16 stitches crocheted totall.). You did not crochet the whole way around the hat. Then cut the yarn off.
In the next row you are basically going to crochet the whole way around the hat starting at the back. You begin by finding the back seam of the hat – with the right side facing you (This will be the first stitch of Row 13.). The directions have you making a chain 1 and 1 single crochet in that stitch. Then follow the directions the whole way around the hat and join with a slip stitch to the chain 1 of the current row. Does that make sense? Making the Brim this way gives it a nice edge.
Is there any way to make this with a medium 4 worsted yarn???
If i use an eight mm hook…how much wud the size differ…id lk to use this pattern for a 6 yr old
Hi Olivia! I love this hat :D..and like the others said, it IS very cute on you….I made one tonight, very easily, and it fits perfectly also :D…i used two strands of worsted weight yarn together throughout the pattern with a P size hook….perfect.however, the part that confused me the most is when i got to the brim part…i understood attaching the yarn to the 14th chain and so forth (in order to start the brim), but it was the part about attaching the yarn to the back of the hat and crocheting 17 stitches, then 20 stitches and so forth etc….I'm crazy about the brim part so i want to get it right. i usually either get tripped up with instructions on making the brim or the instructions are a little off in other patterns. Please clarify. thanks so much!
OK Olivia, no need to clarify…i think i figured it out! :D…i crocheted as instructed by inserting my needle to the back of the hat and i see that this way doubles as an edging for the hat as it works its way to the second round of the brim…brilliant! thanks again for sharing your wonderful pattern! =)
I am confused too. So it does go into the back, on the last round? I was thinking smack dab in the middle!
Hello, i love my hat is was curious if i could sell these? Using your pattern, of course i'll credit you and leave a link to this page 🙂 plz?
I made this hat using Lion's Brand Thick n Quick, and I LOVE IT so much that I'm making one for each of my 4 sisters for Christmas. Your patterns are so amazing, I love them all!!!
Love this hat. Thank you for the pattern. Beautiful eyes!
Hello Its a really nice pattern Thx ot, one thing, What is your Gauge for 4'' x 4'' ?
Thanx
Thank u for ur free patterns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate the (if u can't tell) 🙂

Size states 13 years and up. Does this fit an adult?
It does 🙂
I made four of these beautiful hats for my sisters for Christmas! Such a great pattern… Thank you!!!!!
Love your instructions!
Will this pattern work with 2 strands of yarn that take a 4.5 mm hook?
I made this and my brim is ruffled and no matter what I do it won't flatten. Any use what I did wrong??
could someone who has had success at least do a video of the brim addition. thank you
could someone who has had success at least do a video of the brim addition. thank you
Love this hat! Just made one for my mom. It only took a few hours and it is so cute!
hi olivia thanks so much for this hat pattern its so cute
Hi Olivia,
Did you ever do a youtube video for this hat?
hi, i really like the way it turned out on the pic and this is one of those very rare professional patterns that are free online. thanks for sharing this. i just need to know how i can mae this so it would fit a 3-6 months old… if i will be using 4mm hook with corresponding yarn, how small will the circumference it gonna be? thanks 🙂
I have two little boys that both wear a 2-4 years size hat. Their mom would love for them to have hats like this. I want to have them done by Christmas. Is there any way I could make them in that size?
hi there, I love this pattern and can't wait to try it but I haven't been able to find a 10mm hook! the largest I have is 8mm….Would I be okay using this hook with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn(i'm using redheart supersaver)?
Thank you so much~~~
I found my 10.00mm crochet hook at Walmart.
I tried to put a picture but it wouldn’t let me.
Sorry for the grammar errors, it should work, mine came out great, I crochet loosely, and the 8mm hook made it fit perfect with two stands of smaller yarn.
Just finished this hat and I already love it. I'm making one for my daughter next
Debbie Olson. Reidville, NL. Made 6 of these newsboy hats so far for Christmas gifts for nexy Christmas. THANK-YOU for the pattern. Love this hat. Debbie
Thank you! My hat turned out great and fits just right!
So quick and easy – love it!
Thank you for sharing
I made these hats last year for Family members that gave them for Christmas gifts! I Got an order for one again from my sister in law, easy to follow instructions!
its really nice i like it
its great really i like it
How many chains do I start with?
Can’t wait to try it
Hi, I am in the middle of creating the Newsboy hat, and I have questions. After round 13, how do I “fasten off?” and secondly, when I start the brim, how do I “ATTACH my yarn to the 14th stitch?” Didn’t you used to have a link to a video or am I going crazy??
Thanks a bunch. I love your website.
I love this hat. Thank you for sharing. I crocheted mine in silver and pink.
I am going to try and do this cap.
I think I failed the brim on the hat? I’m not sure why it’s not clicking for me! The 20 instead of 10 on the brim have me tripped up. I love this pattern! I read all your comments and I’m still having troubles. It’s hard to tell that my hat has a brim.
Thanks for your help! And the pattern!!
Hi, Olivia, I love your work.
Thank you for let us have the pattern.
Best wishes!!
These instructions are confusing as written. I am not getting my stitches to match up at all at the end of my rounds. It is a little frustrating. Are you counting the slip stitch as a stitch? When you hdc in the same stitch is it in the slip stitch space…?
Are you the person pictured wearing the final product?! If you are, you are absolutely adorable!! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful patterns!!
Just made thus hat. It turned our super cute, but way smaller than it should be. I think I used the wrong yarn. Hmmm. I guess my daughter can wear it.
I’m trying to find the pattern for the newsboy cap. Has it been taken down?
Pattern is beyond cofusing! Can’t I just do a magic circle and crochet using a seam? Slip stitching at the end of each round makes much more sense. Would also be nice if the person that made the pattern responded to people’s comments.
I made one for my church friend for her birthday & where she works Seniors Home they luved it am just a beginner learning
Thank you for sharing your pattern.
Hey there, thanks for sharing! Im loving this style of hat! Id like to make this on a smaller hook out of preference. I was having a hard time getting hats to fit until i found the crown chart but with this being a rounded fitted hat i’m not sure if it’ll help completely and it doesn’t hurt to ask.
If i were to use a 7mm crochet hook with yarn to match how would i go about changing the rows? Do i add extra stitches to the starting ring plus/or add extra rounds of increases until it fits around my head? I know i’ll have to wing it and probably end up redoing it a few times but i’ve plenty of patience. Tia, sarah x
When attaching the hat band, do you recommend putting anchor stitches between the ends? If so would you anchor in the middle of the band from the backside or would you anchor the top and bottom of the band. I realize the band needs to be able to stretch, but I would guess we don’t want the band to be floppy over time due to wear. Any suggestions would be great.
This is a great pattern. Thank you for sharing it.
Fun and easy pattern. Thank you.
I love this hat. I am having trouble with the brim. So I ended the hat and hide my ends. and it says to start on chain 14. I am assuming you use a slip knot and start row one?
But it tell you to fasten your ends.
Round 2 I am not following how you crochet in the round on the brim for the 2nd row?
Why can’t you chain two and turn your work to do the 2nd row (round 2)?
I’m having this issue too with the brim
Do you do YouTube videos?
can you explain a bit more about the brim? you said “attach yarn to back of hat, right in the middle” ? where precisely?
Can’t wait to try this out! Thank you for sharing!
Do you happen to have a video tutorial for this pattern? Also are you able to do this pattern with a WW yarn?
Is this pattern available?
Id love to try your Newsboy cap pattern but “Comments” is overlaying and I cant see the pattern. Hoping that commenting will solve this issue.
