Chunky Newsboy Cap
Recently, I was inspired by one of my favorite bloggers, Jen at PieKnits, to knit my own version of the Chunky Newsboy Cap by Diane Serviss:
This is a great pattern for a few reasons:
1) It's CUTE!
2) It knits up fast–about 2 hours
3) It uses 1 skein of relatively inexpensive yarn
I love it so much I've knit three of them so far, but I think this blue one is my favorite.
You'll need: 1 skein Lion Brand Wool Thick & Quick, Size 13 DPNs, Size 8 straight needles
A note about the knitting needles: I only had 4 size 13 DPNs so I used a 16" size 13 circular needle up to the very last row of the cap. I knit the final row on to two DPNs, but if I had to I could've probably used the circular needle to the very end.
wow! that is a super cute blue cap and i love blue! yay!
i like your tattoo also 😀
Excellent blog – I really appreciate your blog, thanks for sharing with us
I wear the one you made me for X-Mas all the time (when it’s cold enough of course.) My favorite winter hat. You’re such a talent! I need to work on my knitting more. I have some basic stuff down.
I really like the tatto with style…
I got a similar tattoo on the neck, maybe i can send you some pictures let me know.
SO CUTE!!! I love how the blue of the hat matches your neck tattoo too. Those would make GREAT x-mas gifts (hint, hint)
I don’t speak knit, and I think I’m up to 1 1/2 years on just a freakin’ SCARF, so really I’m just hoping that one of those three caps is for my head. 😉
2 hours….*head explodes*
Way cute! I can’t wait to make one. Just waiting for the needles to arrive!
Hehe they’re addictive! You look so cute in it! I LOVE that blue color! Hmm, trying to decide what all colors I should make next. 😀
