Part of a Set
The ribbed crochet hat has a matching ribbed crochet cowl. You can find the matching cowl pattern here.
The Yarn
To make this pattern I chose to use Wool Ease from Lion Brand Yarn because the thickness of the yarn, the warmth from the wool, combined with softness.
This type of yarn is a wool and acrylic blend, but the hat would look just as amazing in merino wool or even baby alpaca.
This is a 4 medium yarn, but you could try making this crochet hat in either bulky yarn or super bulky yarn with a larger crochet hook. If you choose change the weight of yarn, you may need to reduce the number of stitches per section of stitches.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

- Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger.

Size Adjustments
- Make the hat higher by adding extra stitches before you start row 1, added/reduced by 1 stitches at a time. If you add/reduce multiple stitches, add/reduce evenly across the row.
- Adjust hat circumference by adding/reducing the number of rows you crochet. To make it easy to assemble the hat with the same yarn tail, end with an odd row.

Techniques You Will Need
Crocheting In The Back Loop
For this crochet pattern you need to know how to crochet in the back loop only.
This means that you will not crochet through the whole stitch as usual. A typical stitch contains two loops. One in the front, nearest you, and another stitch in the back, furthest away from you. One is called the front loop (the one nearest you), the other one the back loop, the one furthest away from you.
For this pattern you will crochet slip stitches, single crochet stitches (BLsc), half double crochet stitches (BL hdc) & double crochet stitches (BLdc) through the back loop.
Ribbed Crochet Hat Pattern Instructions
Make 43 st using the FSC technique.
Row 1 (RS): Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), sl st in BL the next 6 st, BLsc 1 in the next 12 st, BLhdc 1 in the next 12 st, BLdc 1 in the next 12 st, turn (=43 st).
Row 2: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), sl st in BL of all next st from prev row, turn (=43 st).
Repeat row 1 and 2 until you have crocheted 61 rows, ending with a repeat of row 1.
Row 62*: Sl st in unworked side of FSC from beginning AND BL of all st from prev row (=43 st).
*If preferred, seam together with a needle instead of working row 62.
Fasten off & cut yarn leaving a yarn tail long enough to close the top of the beanie.
Finishing
With a needle & the yarn tail, go through every other row on the top of the beanie.
After going through all, pull tight to close the top of the beanie.
Fasten threads & weave in ends.
