My partner has cancer and would like me to knit or crochet her a newsboy cap. I am not having any luck finding a pattern online. Any feedback would be appreciated.

She saw one in a special needs order catalog but can't afford to buy it so I am trying to help her out by making one. She already has some yarn for one. She used to do needle projects but has no energy to do so any longer.

THANK YOU in advance,

GRANDMA GLO

Here's a pattern for a knitted adult-sized cap. It fits more like a stocking cap with a brim than a beret/newsboy style (I've attached a link with photo), but it's really cute and might be a good fit.
Anyway, hope it works.

Go to the Craftbits Site and check out the free

goes well for your friend.

Very fab!

Try the book 'Stitch 'N Bitch Nation,' annoying name, but good patterns. There is a cable newsboy hat with a fairly simple pattern which is rather nice. Try looking for the book at your local library.

Hope this helps,

Hello, I thought you might be interested in a pattern I saw on the web for a newsboy hat, I think you could alter it. If you look on Berroco yarn websight, they sell a book #238 accessorize. It retails for 10.95. That is the closest I could find. After reading your post I searched and found the pattern, bought the book and started making a hat.
I hope this helps, Suzy http://www.berroco.com/238/238_cap_norah_pv.html

Hi Kathleen - hopefully you found a knitted pattern by now but if not,
if there's a library near you, you can get a good pattern from Stitch n' Bitch nation. I also made a few newsboy caps for cancer patients using berroco chinchilla yarn (very soft and washable) by combined the Janet Szabo Chemo Toque pattern (free online to anyone making caps for cancer patients) with the cap lip from the Stitch n' bitch nation pattern.
Good luck and hope you find what you are looking for.

Does anyone know a site for a good knitted pattern? This one is really great but it is a crochet pattern.

Hi there, best wishes to your friend... if you're still looking for a newsboy type hat... have you looked on ebay? If you plead your case to a seller, they may be willing to waive the shipping fees... I know I would. I just looked and there are ones starting as little as a penny for an opening bid.

Good luck and happy hunting
Take care,
Mchele

I make cancer and chemo caps for patients out of fleece, cotton, stretch knit and I also knit hats. Let me know what color, and I would be happy to send you one or two for free! I usually sell them, but would be more than happy to help you out.

Prayers and best wishes to your partner :)
I found these instructions here:
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art9249.asp

Almost a Newsboy Cap

Approx 4 oz of worsted weight yarn
Stitch marker
Size H hook or any hook that will give you the below gauge
Gauge: 7 sts = 2 inches 3 rounds or rows = 1 inch

Starting at top, ch 2.
Row 1: 8 sc in 2nd chain from hook,** put a marker in work to mark beg of each round
Row 2: *2 sc in each st (8 sts inc)
Row 3: *1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around (8 sts inc)
Row 4: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, repeat from * around (8 sts inc)
Row 5: *1 sc in each of next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around (8 sts inc)
Continue in this manner to increase 8 sts EVERY ROUND, being sure that incs do not come directly over each other, having 1 st more between incs on each inc. round until there are 96 sts in a round, piece should measure approx 9 inches in diameter.
Next 7 rows: work even on 96 sts

Band: Row 1: *1 sc in each of next 3 sc, skip next sc, repeat from * around 72 sts.
Rows 2  4: work even in sc. Join with sl st to first st but DO NOT FASTEN OFF.

Visor: Row 1: 1 sc in next 14 sts, end off
Row 2: with right side facing join yarn in fist st, 1 sc in each of next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 6 sts, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of last 3 sts, end off
Row 3: With right side facing you, join yarn in band 2 sts from beg of visor, 1 sc in each of these 2 sts, 1 sc in each of next 4 sts of visor, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 6 sts, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of last 4 sts of visor, 1 sc in each of next 2 sts in band, end off.
Continue to work 2 more sts of band and 2 more sts at centre of visor between incs EVERY ROW until 8 row of visor have been complete. End off
Facing: With wrong side of visor facing you, work to correspond to visor end off

Finish: Cut a very stiff piece of cardboard (I recommend plastic canvas) in the shape of the visor. Insert between visor and facing, with right side facind you, join yarn at beg of visor at band and work 1 sc through both thicknesses of visor and around entire cap. Join with sl st. End off. The following is how they put the ridges in the cap: Starting at last row of cap, work 1 sl st over each row to top, Repeat this sl st every 12th st around.
