Free Newsboy Pumpkin Crochet Hat Pattern

Not as advertised, but still really cute!

I'm rounding up from 3.5-ish to 4 stars. As others mentioned, I recommend using the written instructions, avoiding the graph for the actual cap. They are very straightforward. There is one typo in row 30, where the pattern for that row should be repeated 10 times, rather than 6. The tutorial video provided in response to a different review addresses this as well. As other reviews have also mentioned, the pic is a bit misleading, the hat fits more like a slouch beanie/beret hybrid. I still think it's very cute and I love the texture. I think the shape could be closer to a newsboy cap if the cap was washed with fabric softener to make it more slouchy and less stiff. If you are struggling to understand how to fold and sew the brim, the tutorial video is very helpful. I added a little curly-q to mimic the tendrils found on pumpkins (an easy tutorial to find online on youtube or any search engine). Overall this was a fun, quick pattern that was a good balance of interesting and easy to follow, and is very cute. I reduced my rating due to the 1 typo in the written pattern and the picture/style of hate being misleading. I still would recommend for a cute and satisfying fall project!

It's doable, but I wouldn't give this pattern to a beginner. Written pattern is understandable, but there are several mistakes in crocheting charts. Also, with these instructions for the brim it doesn't really look like Newsboy hat. I sewed only half of the brim instead of all of it to make it a little bit more similar to a newsboy hat, but the photo is a bit misleading (or the instruction in not clear enough how to achieve this look

Confusing and poorly-written

Pattern instructions do not match chart. Not sure which to follow? Hat ended up being more like pointy witch hat than poofy newsboy… and can’t figure out how brim is supposed to fold. Granted, the pattern is free, but I’ve followed plenty of free patterns than were more sensibly written.

• Thank you for reaching out regarding the instructions for the Newsboy Pumpkin Crochet Hat. As shown by the sample photo, it is pointy at the top but should fit the average head like a newsboy style hat. We are reviewing the written instructions for the brim. For now, we recommend following the diagram instructions for the brim beginning with the 29th Rnd while we review the pattern further. We do have a complete tutorial for this hat. It should help you with finishing your brim. https://youtu.be/Vc7cMXrzEs8?si=7dNWcbo9-nPu7DYw&t=1143 We hope this helps you finish your project!

Looks great, very hard.

Looks amazing! But definitely not easy. Did this with my grandma who's been crocheting 50+ years and it was difficult for both of us. We both messed up the top and brim and neither of us know how.
