If you are looking for my Ninja Turtle Newsboy and Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern, then you’ve come to the right place. Everything you will need to know about this pattern will be included in this post. I designed this pattern when someone contacted my Etsy shop about stitching them up a regular turtle hat for a Halloween costume. At the time I didn’t have a pattern available, nor could I find exactly what I wanted, so I decided to design my own.

What hooks and tools are used?
Something else you’ll need to stitch this is a good crochet hook. 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. 🙂
The light up set is pictured below. I think that looks kind of awesome. I love that it’s rechargeable! Be sure to do your research and read the reviews. If you buy a good set of hooks it’s likely you will never need to buy another set again, or at least not for a very long time. Doing your homework to make sure you are making a sound purchase is always a good idea.
What yarn is recommended for the Ninja Turtle Newsboy and Beanie Crochet Hat Project?
Last, but certainly not least….you need some yarn. Knit Picks has that too if you want to check out their selection. You’ll want to stick to their worsted weight yarns in order to keep the hat the same size as the pattern calls for.
I stitched the pattern up in Vanna’s Choice. This is one of my favorite yarns to use. It is so super soft and I love the quality. Another yarn I have been using lately that I have really liked is the Red Heart Soft Yarn..
Additional Tools for when your wrists and/or hands ache
If you are like me and you knit and crochet a lot, something that I have found is useful at times is a pair of stress relief gloves. As a matter of fact I own a few different kinds. However I do think any of them is better than not using anything at all if your hands and wrists are bothering you. I’ll include a link for you to check out.

Happy Stitching!
