Crochet Newsboys Hat Pattern | The Red Hat

FacebookTweetPin

Stay cozy and warm this winter with this newsboys crochet hat pattern! Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version), this hat emphasizes the stories that Taylor swift tells through her album. The album evokes a variety of emotions from love, pain, and everything in between. My hope is that you will find comfort in wearing this cozy Red hat.

As I was planning crochet designs for this fall, I drafted a newsboys-inspired hat in the line up. However, I didn’t know the color/style that I wanted to take with the hat design. In June, Taylor Swift announced that she would be releasing Red (Taylor’s version), I instantly knew that I had to recreate the red hat that she wore for the Red photoshoot!

As an avid Swiftie, creating anything that parallels her music or style, is always a delight for me. But even if you are not a Red fan, you will still love this hat! The classic newsboys style is ideal for those cold days when you are desiring warmth and style.

I was pleasantly surprised that my favorite part of this design process was the photoshoot. Typically, I don’t look forward to photographing crochet designs (that include me in the pictures haha), but I was so excited to have the chance to recreate the Red photos. Taking photos to mimic the aesthetic of Red (Taylor’s Version) was a dream come true and I truly felt like Taylor for a minute 🙂

For this pattern I used Hue+Me in Spicy. This was my first time using this yarn and it definitely did not disappoint! There are not many options for bulky weight (category 5) wool yarns that are easily accessible. Admittedly it is not a weight I use that much, but I may need to make more things in bulky weight just as an excuse to use Hue+Me again 😊

      Angela,

      That is a typo and you should work 22 stitches. I just fixed it!

      Have a good day!

    I love this pattern but there seems to be some rows missing. It went from Row 3 to row 5. My brim is shorter than the one in your pictures, help please.

      Pat, I’m not sure what you mean by going from row 3 to row 5. I checked the pattern and it has all of the correct number of rows. Did you check your gauge?

    I only have the J hook 🙁 Will I be able to use this hook for the whole hat or is K hook required?

      You can try, but the hat may turn out smaller.
