Newsboy Beanie - Take 1

My cousin Julie just had a baby boy, and she wanted to know if I could make a newsboy hat for her son's newborn photos.

The inspiration was, of course, crocheted!

I'm still having trouble crocheting evenly, let alone well enough to make something that is going to be photographed!

So, here is the crocheted inspiration: clicky clicky 

and here is the first draft of my newsboy beanie:

I need to make the brim a bit bigger, and I need to fix the left edge past the button hole, but overall, I'm quite pleased with this first draft.

I whipped it up in less than an hour, so it should look better when I take a bit more time on it. 

I will post the pattern soon once it has been finalized!
