Hello there and Happy Tuesday to ya! I’ve been quite inspired to create this newsboy inspired crochet hat. The hat was inspired by the show Scream Queens, one of the main characters wears them and I couldn’t help myself, I had to make a similar one!
Crochet Hook>> J/10 6.00MM // Craft Scissors // Yarn Sewing Needle //
Yarn used>>Less Than Half a Skein [Red Heart Super Saver]
Stitch guide: HDC= half double crochet// SC=single crochet// DC=double crochet// SS= slip stitch //ST(S)= stitch(es)// CH= chain R[row]= Round
Note: You will be working in rounds!
