Hi everyone,
I’m new to knitting but would like to make this hat, or one similar:
What kind of hat is this called? Or better yet, can I find instructions for it or similar anywhere online?
Thank you very much!
A hat
It looks a lot like a Newspaper Boy style hat. I know that the Stich N’ Bitch book has one, you may check at your library see if they have one there, if you don’t want to buy it. 
I did find this free one
This one looks similar:

I googled knit newsboy hat pattern and found a few, but the one above is the cutest, and the one most like the one you had. I’m not quite sure what they’re called.
Hope you find one you like!
