Here is a more sophisticated version of the Flower Newsboy Hat that I have been making. This was custom ordered for an adult who loved the look but didn’t need all the sparkles and colors. It is so fun to see how one pattern can really work for so many different ages and genders. Follow the pattern as written and make a Ninja Turtle hat that any boy would love. Leave out all the extras and just stitch the Newsboy Hat straight up and it will work for a man. This pattern really does have endless possibilities! I love when one pattern can do so many things!!

Black and Gray Flower Newsboy Hat Pattern Info:
This hat was created from my Ninja Turtle Newsboy Hat and/or Beanie Pattern. Instead of doing the ties, as in the Ninja Turtle Pattern, I crocheted a flower instead. You can find my 3 Layer Flower Pattern that I shared on another post. You can also find my pattern for my Flower and Car Fringe Textured Scarf Pattern which I designed to go with this hat to make a beautiful textured set to give as a set.
Flower Newsboy Hat Yarn
I discussed above that one of my favorite yarns to stitch these in is the Caron Simply Soft Party yarn. Other good choices to use would be Vanna’s Choice and Red Heart Soft. I would recommend any of these. A good place to check out to see if you could find good sales on them are the Lion Brand Website or the Create For Less website. Knit Picks also has a variety of yarns to choose from that I will also share links for below.
Crochet Hooks
Something else that comes in handy if you decide you’d like to stitch these sets up for yourself is a good set of crochet hooks. My favorite brand to use are the Knit Picks brand. They are so beautiful and it makes my heart happy just to look at them. Pictured below are the knitting needle version, of which they offer a mosaic wood version of the crochet hooks as well. I just love them. They also offer a padded handle set. I have a wooden set (although not the mosaic one…bummer…they didn’t offer that when I bought mine) and I have the padded set and I love both of them.
I also have a cute little set from Amazon that I love too. You can buy this one fairly inexpensively and it comes with some tools and notions that will be helpful too. Several buying options to choose from and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. 🙂 I don’t have the light up set pictured below but I think that looks kind of awesome and I may have to get one and try it out. I love that it’s rechargeable!
Still need help?
That should be about all you need if you want to try this one out. If you feel like you might need a little extra assistance and want online classes to help you, check out the links below for Craftsy and Annie’s. Both have numerous classes to choose from to improve your skills or teach you something new. Both of them offer a chance to preview for free before purchasing so check them out. I take online classes often to improve and advance my skills. You can always learn something new!
I told you I would have lots more of these sets coming up to share since I stitched SO many of these back when I wrote the patterns. They have been very popular items and still are! Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help. If you are more interested in custom ordering one already made, you can contact me for that as well. I still sell the finished items.

Happy Stitching!
