Having a little boy, I always wanted to knit a newsboy hat for him as they are so wonderfully adorable. When searching for free patterns, I only ever seemed to come across crochet patterns so didn't actually attempt making one until taking up crocheting this year.
After making the newsboy hat, I decided to also make a lady's hat from the same yarn (Red Heart Super Saver - Aran Fleck). I found a very cute pattern on Pinterest (link to website below).
Once the hat was done and ready for finishing, I decided to have an angled brim instead of the straight folded back brim and it ended up looking a bit flapper which I think is also cute.
The pattern can be found http://www.crochetaddictuk.com and I would consider it a beginner level pattern. There are numerous other free hat patterns to be found on the same site.
The child-size newsboy hat pattern I used can be found at http://vallieskids.blogspot.ca (linked directly to pattern page) and is also a beginner-level pattern.
I still need to put buttons on to finish it off and I think it will go to a little girl as I think I would like a darker and maybe chunkier yarn for a boy.

This yarn has really gone far ... I have made the above two hats and a double-wrap cowl from two skeins (282g total).
Not sure what the next project will be. Spring seems to be finally around the corner, so I may have to switch my focus. Maybe placemats and coasters for the outdoor space?
From my loving home,
