Design of the Week

Hello!

Some of you may have noticed that I have a new Categiry in my shop at Divella Delights, "Design of the Week".
There will be a new design each week. It might be jewelry, a hat, bag or anything else in my shop that is 40% off and of course shipping is always free in the US. There will be only one (excpet in the case of beading patterns) and it is first come, only served.
I offer shipping internationally but you'll need to contact me for rates at info@divelladelights.com
This week it is the Kathryn Cap in Autumn shades at only $17.40!
What a great brain cage for leaf peeping, you'll blend right in!

Extra Extra...Read all about it!

Extra, Extra Read all about it!


This Newsboy Hat Pattern was fashioned after those boys (and I am sure sometimes girls) in the 1920’s and 1930’s. I have given mine a tiny bit of a feminine twist, using 2 strands of yarn and choosing colors other than brown. On the model I have used 1 strand of Homespun and 1 strand of 100% wool worsted weight.


I have the Pattern as well as the finsihed hat on my website. As with all my patterns once I have sold 50 they are retired so get yours now!

Jersey Girl or Newsboy?

I have heard this hat referred to as the Newsboy style and then my son told me it is called the Jersey Girl.

Whatever it is called, it is my own take on the popular brimmed hat crochet style and I call it the Kathryn Cap.

I named it the Kathryn Cap because it reminds me of one of my nieces. Kathryn is a very talented gal, a bit sassy and quite an athlete so no flowers and flourishes for this design!


Like most of my other hats it is worked with 2 strands of yarn with a variety of fibers. After the basic hat is completed I attach some embellishments for a little more attitude.


Hope you like it!
