This simple and quick-to-work newsboy hat can be made in any size from micro preemie to adult.

An ideal stash buster, you can work it in any yarn you like.

Materials: You may use any yarn for this project, although thicker yarns are best kept for the larger sizes - a micro preemie hat is unlikely to work so well in super chunky!

Good combinations are DK with a 3.50mm hook, Aran (WW) with a 4.50mm hook and chunky (bulky) with a 5.50mm hook.

The largest size uses approximately 100-150g (230-345m) double knit (8 ply).

You will also need a hook (appropriate to chosen yarn), 2 buttons to trim the strap and a needle for neatening ends and stitching buttons on.
