Crochet Ribbed Hat
Here is a free crochet pattern of my version of a crochet ribbed hat. The crochet beanie features pretty vertical ribs with shells in between the ribs. It’s stylish and perfect for every event and occasion.
It is nice and cozy for cold winter weather in colder climates. Plus, it works up quick, making it great if you plan on making a lot of gifts for friends and family.
Finished Size
This crochet hat pattern is available in one size only, but you can always use a larger hook and thicker yarn to increase if you need something a bit bigger.
The hat comes out looking as if it’s too big, but it’s pulled together by the single crochet stitches along 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.
I used a 4.25 mm crochet hook for the body of the hat and a 4 mm for the brim. If you need a larger hat than this, try using a 5 and a 4.5 mm. For something smaller try using a DK weight yarn with 3.5 mm and 3mm hooks. This way you still get all the beautiful textures without changing the pattern.
The Yarn
For this crocheted beanie pattern,I used Patons Canadiana yarn. It is a soft #4 worsted weight yarn, making it perfect for making cozy winter hats. If you need a larger size for this hat you can try a thicker yarn to experiment with different sizes.
Patons Canadiana
The stitch pattern is easy, provided you know how to make the front post double and triple crochet stitches. These are the stitches used to make the pretty rib stitch on the right sides. And in between the ribs you have a pretty shell stitch for a beautiful textured crochet hat.

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. :)
Wonderful, thank you. I’ve made 4 of these hats this week and they are very beautiful. I love your pattern. I also love your instructions because they are very easy to understand and follow. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome, and thank you for the feedback. I’m glad you enjoy this pattern. :)
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.
