Team Rocket Hat

It's officially no mystery that I, Rose, will be attending NDK (Mountain West Anime Con) as a Team Rocket Grunt!!

BOO YAH!

I'll be going for my own version of this costume:

So I wanted a good pattern for what is called a "Pageboy" or "Newsboy" style hat. This type of hat is one that would be good for this project and also for a Mario/Luigi/Wario/etc. type hat! So a perfected pattern would be great.

I found a few websites with a similar pattern that I modified as well as invented my own going off of a pageboy hat that I had bought years ago. Added a few details or stitches here or there that I thought might help and there you go!

I realize the hat in the picture is solid black, but where's the fun in that? I wanted something I could wear on any given day and have there be a meaning to it So mine has an "R" on it.

I should also add that the Where's Waldo t-shirt will not be part of my finished costume and just happens to be what I wore today :3

Sites I used to help me plan:

Bought the Pokeballs on eBay, they're super cool and openable so I can put things in them - as evidenced by my little Meowth plush

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!!!!
