Crochet Ribbed Hat

April 16, 2014 · Rhelena · 9 Comments

Collage of ribbed hat pattern.

This is my version of a crochet ribbed hat in the round. The pattern is easy, provided you know how to make the front post double/triple crochet stitches. And in between the ribs you have a pretty shell stitch for a beautiful textured crochet hat.

I wanted to make this pattern in more than one size, however, I couldn’t figure out an easy way to do it without changing the design. (My mind fails me like that sometimes.) The ribs and shells are started right at the top and worked in the round, which didn’t allow me to easily change the size.

Anyhow, I ended up using two different types of yarn in order to create two different gauges. And it worked perfectly for getting two different sizes. The different gauges are listed below.

The hat comes out looking as if it’s too big, but it’s pulled together by the brim. Thereby creating a somewhat of a slouchy hat. Another beauty is that you can customize the hat by switching up your hooks for the brim to get the circumference that you need for a comfortable fit.

For the smaller size, I used Patons Canadiana – The New Generation. And for the large hat, I used the old Patons Canadiana, which is no longer available, but I found a ball of it in my yarn stash and thought I would use it up. Both are a medium weight yarn, but the New Generation is slightly thinner.

Other hats that you might enjoy include this easy hat crochet pattern, the cross-over long dc hat, or this pretty simple hat. Or, if you’d like to see something by other designers, you might enjoy this roundup of crochet winter hats.

Crochet Ribbed Hat

Skill Level: Intermediate

Material:

Yarn: Patons Canadiana, or any medium weight yarn in order to obtain the correct gauge.
Hook Size: G/6-4.25MM, or any hook required to obtain the gauge.

Measurements:

Gauge: Over the first 2 rounds, the gauge for the small measures about 5 cm, and for the large it is about 5.5cm.

Finished Measurements: The circumference measures about 19 inches (48 cm) for the small, and for the large it is about 22 inches (56 cm). When laying flat, the height for the small measures about 7.5 inches (19 cm), and for the large it measures about 8 inches (21 cm). If you need a deeper hat, you can always do more repeats of round 8.

    On rounds 8+ , do we start each by CH 3? That’s not between the asterisks (*) so I just wanted to make sure we still do need to CH 3 at the beginning of rows 8 and onward.

      Yes, start each round at the very beginning with the Ch 3. :)

    I did something wrong as mine turned out looking like a beret! Still I am sure someone will take a fancy to it:-)

      The hat does have a slouchy looked to it, but you can’t see it that well in the picture.

        Rhelena, you know what, my niece loved it! Apparently beret like hats are all the rage at the mo. She even allowed her pops to take a photo of her wearing it so thats a first!

          That’s so awesome. Yes, slouchy, chunky and chevrons seem to be in right now. Glad she liked it. :)

    I started the pattern with a magic circle with 8 sc instead of a chain of 4 and it worked excellently to ensure the top of the hat is closed — it also made it easier to work the rounds for me.
