This detailed full color 4-page pattern offers a generous “artsy” newsboy beret with slim and newsboy variations. Includes glossary of terms, full color photos and instructions for S, M, L, XL sizing, striping and brim options.
Stitches are over-all fairly straight forward. However, this pattern requires prior knowledge of how to use multiple yarns at once through-out and some elements of this pattern require tapestry crochet skills and interchanging colors.
As such, this pattern ranks as intermediate crochet according to pattern standards guidelines.
