This was my second attempt at the Chunky Newsboy Cap - ravelry project link here. The first attempt, where I used the called-for yarn & needles, didn't go quite so well in sizing and ended up being gifted to my petite niece for Christmas.
For this version I upped the needles to size 15 for the body and size 10 for the brim, using Blue Sky Alpacas Bulky yarn and adding a few rows to the brim... I am quite pleased with the outcome. Its actually a little loose/big, but that just prevents hat-head!
I'm very pleased with the result... well except for the bind off edge where I drew the yarn through the last stitch. Its a tad "extra bulky" there ... but I can't be too picky. Even Matt seemed to like it! As always, I had some modeling help... even if the girls were a little sleepy and less than enthusiastic...
The girls wear it well, Nicole....but so do you.
