I’ve been so caught up with the kids’ animal beanies that I completely forgot about the hats for women I’m supposed to be making. 50 of them. FIFTY!!! What was I thinking???
I do at least have a great pattern. And it was free from Red Heart. And I can now make it in my sleep. Here it is: newsboy pattern in case you ever want to have a bash.
I made this version with 2 strands of Vinni’s Nikkim cotton in Plum and a 5mm hook:
And this version in a mystery acrylic with a 5.5mm hook:
I should have left the modelling to Alex, hahaha!!!
Back soon x
Nice piece of work 
I honestly thought that WAS Alex. You’re getting younger by the day! It’s that cream.

The top one IS Alex, you nana!!!!!!!
Oops, I liked my own post by mistake !
I’ve done that before, it’s sooo embarrassing when you realise!
And you can’t unlike it, I tried!
Sure I did but not sure how..
maybe I didn’t try very hard…
Nothing wrong with that ….
Lovely hats are coming to be a daily must now the weather is turning cooler here.
Well, we have the opposite here, it’s getter hotter rapidly, and it’s still spring. I think we are in for a STINKER of a summer, the thought of which makes me weak. I much prefer the milder weather :-)
Especially loving the grey one.
Thanks
Brilliant, I think I will add this one to my repertoire Jill! You don’t half set yourself some mountainous tasks do you?! !00 here, 50 there! Flying hooks Batman!!!
Yes. I think I’ve oversold myself, actually. Clearly, I will never learn. :-)
50? Ah, you can do it! :)
I am in the same boat. The good ship “no problem, I can do that”
You also making 50?
Oh no! I meant I was doing a lot of knitting and crochet for this time of year !
No hats. cupcakes and critters! :)
ah yes, the cupcakes – I’ve been meaning to get around to one or two of those. At this rate, it’ll be 2015….
Oh my gosh Jill, 50 women’s hats! I know you can do it, so now get off of here and get to hooking. Love and Hugs, Tamara

Your picture’s far cuter silly x

Tis
Ambition? You’ve got it!!! We will be your cheerleaders. You can do it! You can do it!!! Yay Jill!
More like brain fog. :(
You’re certainly a glutton for punishment. I would go mad if I had to make 50 hats! But I am sure you can do it. :-)
Actually, I can’t do it. I’ve just sat down with a calculator and, whichever way I turn it, it just ain’t gonna work!!! New plan required …
Just be honest, are you really 15?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you’re looking at the wrong picture, dinklebrain!!!!!!! Alex is at the TOP, I’m at the BOTTOM.
I know that SILLY!!!!
Ps, look forward to coffee soon, will be lovely to talk some sense into you about committing to make a trillion hats!!! :)
Yip. Wish I’d spoken to you beforehand! heh
Super cute! Best of luck finishing them… how long does each one take to make?
um…..not long. I’ve done a time trial with slippers and with the animal beanies, but not with one of these. So. You know what I’ll be doing this evening on my couch…watch this space.
You are both gorgeous and photogenic, you look younger than me! Love the hat, I think I will try it out.
ok, but time yourself – I’m making one now and it’ll be interesting to compare. It’s taken me 50 minutes to do the first 10 rows…. ;-) And thanks for the compliment, but it’s totally unwarranted!!!
:-) 50 ; you can do it! :-)
I really like them but think the grey one is my favorite :-)
Thanks Ingrid, for all the lovely comments you make :-)
You and Alex look like twins that is so neat :-)
About that big order?? Wow more respect to you, I know you can do it!!
I love newsboy cap. Im making one right now :)
I have had a go at this pattern Jill, so quick! I like speedy makes! BTW…
