Ridge Beanie Crochet Pattern (Crochet Along for a Cause)

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.
