The Ridge Beanie Crochet Pattern has a unique design and fun texture. I use the technique of crocheting in the 3rd loops of a half double crochet because it adds a nice depth to a hat. I love the ribbed texture it creates.
This hat is the 14th pattern in the Crochet Along for a Cause. It’s our last pattern for this CAL! Thank you so much for participating in this event. Because of all the interest, this will probably become an annual event. So lookout for it again next summer! You can find all the details and hat patterns HERE.

Breann, Just found you and was reading through your Ridged Beanie Hat pattern and need Eli, please. When you say to skip a stitch and dbl crochet in the third loop, I don’t understand this. The previous row is hub crochet but where is the third loop? Help and Thank you for the pattern. Sharon(jy)
Hi! You insert your hook in the loop behind the top two loops and work a dc. Hope this helps!
Not sure if you’ve been made aware, but the pattern notes section says to do a HDC when working the DC 3rd loop.
By the way LOVE this hat, I LOVE all your beanies! Thank you for the pattern!!!
Beautiful pattern. Am a bit confused with row 4, please explain, begining were it
reads dc in 2, 2 dc in next.
Thank you.
Hi! Work 1 dc in 2 stitches, then 2 dc in the next stitch. Hope this helps!
Hello,
I’ve work the pattern as followed in this for 4 and my count is too many.
I’m also confused on the next step.
Thank you
Hi! Are you on round 4? How many stitches are in the first 3 rounds?
Cute pattern
Thx for sharing this
Just wondering if this is supposed to be more of a slouchy hat?
It can be slouchy or long enough to cover the back of the neck and ears 🙂
How can I print the pattern instead of having it up on my screen?
Theres a link to a printable version above the materials list ?
Is this hat for a child or adult. Thanks
Adult 🙂
I have made almost all of your beanies, several of each. I am with a group of ladies that meet one day a week to make beanies for the homeless, seniors in nursing homes. We also make headbands, lap blankets, scarfs…. Etc. . All items are taken to the church, of one member, and get blessed.
Am looking for new patterns for lap blankets. Nothing too hard but, simple and warm, but not too warm. You got any ideas for the stitches.
Thanks, Vicki
