This is an easy-to-make hat suitable for both beginners and more experienced machine knitters. Knowledge of tuck and stockinette stitch are the only requirements. As you can see by the picture I enjoy making these hats and they are great sellers at craft shows. Be sure to use 100% wool yarn, if it has even a small percentage of man-made fibres ...

Gauge shown is just a guide. The felting process of course will alter these figures.

Any easy-to-make unisex cap, traditionally knit in the salt-and-pepper colour (Threaded G & W) of Briggs & Little wool or wool/nylon yarn, worn by fishermen and musicians of Newfoundland - hence the name Newfie.
