Homemade Crochet newsboy caps

I’m so happy and proud to finally be able to share my FREE pattern on my crochet newsboy caps.

Must say I love this cute, easy-to-make summer caps.

The 3dc-cluster-pattern makes the caps airy and light to wear even when it’s warm and sunny outside.

The brim gives a tiny bit of shade for the eyes.

I wanted this caps to have the classic newsboy look, fit well, be cute, summery and feminine, be loose and easy to wear but still not baggy…. and in my opinion I managed to catch it all. 😊

This caps is suitable for girls and women. It’s one size only so if your head is smaller or larger than 56-58 cm you’ll probably need to make some adjustments.

It also depends a little bit on type of yarn you choose to use. So I recommend you measure while working on the caps.

My Norwegian friends; this pattern is in English but should be easy understandable. Please let me know and I’ll help if you have any questions concerning the crochet pattern.
