Free Pattern: Quick Ridges Beanie

Beanies are so popular and I love when they can be made in any size, to fit a variety of styles. This pattern can be made slouchy, with or without a textured section, to fit everyone on your gift list.

I had these cute buttons that screamed they wanted to be sewn on the hat.
I had these cute buttons that screamed they wanted to be sewn on the hat.

I originally designed this pattern for a friend of mine, Tricia of Everlaughter. She is an awesome lady and her samples are always in bright, rainbows of color. She has been a great inspiration to me as a designer and person.

Quick Ridges Beanie Crochet Pattern

An ad-free, downloadable PDF of this pattern with all of the photos is available to purchase for a small fee from my shop.

Project Description

  • About the project: Includes instructions for 2 styles of beanie, both worked in back loop stitches. This is a great style for the entire family and includes all sizes.
  • Skill Level: Easy. Basic crochet skills are needed and must be able to read a crochet pattern.
  • Completion Time (how long it takes the designer to make one): 1.5 hours. Of course this time will vary, but hopefully gives an idea. I always like to know approximately how long to plan for a project.
  • Skill level: Beginner. Email help is always available.

Great for boys and girls of all ages, from newborn to adult.

  • Crochet Hooks: I
  • Miscellaneous: yarn needle, buttons (optional)
  • Gauge: 4″ = 14hdc and 13 rounds
  • Sizes: newborn to adult

Tips

This hat is designed to be worked 2 different ways. Either work all sts in the back loop or start working in back loop only after increase rounds.

Choose option A or option B below.

Option A

For a slouchy version of this hat, start with a J hook and add 1-3” to the length, depending on hat size.

All stitches are worked in the back loops only (BLO). Change colors as desired.

1. With I hook and yarn color of choice, start with a magic circle of 8 sts (or preferred method of starting a circle of 8 sc sts), place marker for working in the round. (8sts)

2.  2hdc in each stitch to end of round. (16sts)

3.  *hdc, 2hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (24sts)

4.  Please note this round starts increasing by 6sts instead of 8sts. The repeat is “hdc 3”, not      “hdc 2”. *hdc 3, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (30sts)

5.  *hdc 4, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (36sts) newborn

6.  *hdc 5, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (42sts) 3-6 mths

7.  *hdc 6, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round.  (48sts) 6-12 mths

8.  *hdc 7, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (54sts) 12-24 mths

9.  *hdc 8, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round.  (60sts) Child/preteen

10.  *hdc 9, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (66sts) Teen/Adult

Body: Working in BLO, Hdc in each stitch, changing colors as desired until hat measures 1” shorter than desired length, from top of hat to current row, according to chart at end of pattern.

When length has been reached, sc in each stitch around for desired width of band.

Newborn-24mths: 4 rounds; Child/preteen: 5 rounds; Teen-Lg adult: 6-7 rounds

Finish off and weave in ends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Option B

The beginning of this style hat is worked through both loops as usual.  Change colors as desired.

1. With I hook and yarn color of choice, start with a magic circle of 8 sts (or preferred method of starting a circle of 8 sc sts), place marker for working in the round. (8sts)

2.  2hdc in each stitch to end of round. (16sts)

3.  *hdc, 2hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (24sts)

5.  *hdc 4, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (36sts) newborn

6.  *hdc 5, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (42sts) 3-6 mths

8.  *hdc 7, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (54sts) 12-24 mths

9.  *hdc 8, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round.  (60sts) Child/preteen

10.  *hdc 9, 2 hdc in next st*, repeat to end of round. (66sts) Teen/Adult

Body (all sizes): Working in BLO, Hdc in each stitch to end of round for 3 rounds.

Cross stitch section:

1. Sc in next st, sl st in next st. From this point on each round is joined at the end.

    Ch 2, dc in same st, *sk 1, dc, dc in skipped st*, repeat until 2 sts remain, dc 2, sl st in first st
    to join.
