Downloadable Pattern: Crochet Newsboy Cap

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®

GAUGE:

5 sc = 3 inches [7.5 cm] with larger hook.
7 rnds = 4 inches [10 cm] with larger hook. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Cap is worked in the round. Visor is worked separately and sewn to cap.
