Crocheted Ribbed Beanie – Free Pattern

For the first day of our Winter Whites series, I made my sewn  ribbed beanie into a crochet pattern!

It’s a beginner level pattern with some intermediate stitches that are really not too difficult to pick up.

I’ll give you a little picture tutorial at the end to help you out. You can also search Youtube for a video on “front post double crochet and back post double crochet” for more clarification. There are a lot of videos to choose from.

Ribbed Beanie Pattern
Skill Level: Beginner +
Size:  9-12 months. Go down one hook size for 6-9 month sized hat and up one hook size for 12-18 month sized hat. *The sizing is approximate.
Hook size: H (5.00 mm)
Yarn: about 150 grams of medium worsted weight
Gauge: 6.5 stitches to 2 inches

Abbreviations used in this pattern:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
fpdc = front post double crochet
bpdc = back post double crochet

Make a magic ring: chain 4 and sl st into the first chain.

edit11024

Round 1: ch 1, hdc 10 times into the ring, sl st into top of ch 1, pull tail to tighten ring (10 stitches)
R2: ch 1, 2 hdc in each stitch around, sl st in top of ch 1 (20) – crochet tail into your stitches so that you won’t have to weave it in later
R3: ch 1, *2 hdc in one stitch, 1 hdc in one stitch* repeat from *to * all the way around, sl st in ch 1  (30)
R4: ch 1, *2 hdc in one stitch, 1 hdc in next two stitches* repeat from *to * all the way around, sl st in ch 1 (40)
R5:  ch 1, *2 hdc in one stitch, 1 hdc in next three stitches* repeat from *to * all the way around, sl st in ch 1 (50)
R6: ch 1, 1 hdc in each stitch around, sl st in ch 1 (50)
R7-R14: ch 1, 1 hdc in each stitch around, sl st in ch 1 (50)
R15: ch 2, *bpdc, fpdc* repeat from *to* all the way around, sl st in top of ch 2. (50)
R16 – R18: ch 2, *bpdc, fpdc* repeat from *to* all the way around, sl st in top of ch 2. (50)

R19: ch 1, sc around in each stitch, sl st into ch 1 (50)
Fasten off and weave in ends. I like to use a tapestry needle so I can weave it in between the fibers of the yarn, making it even more secure and discreet.
I didn’t jump right up to this spot. I started at the bottom and weaved my way up and over and all around until I ran out of a yarn tail.
Here are some pictures of the fpdc and bpdc that create the ribbed bottom or band in the hat:
See where I point to a “post” in the stitch, in the pictures? You need to weave your hook behind the post for a fpdc (so the bump or post pops out to the front) or in front of the post for a bpdc. Once your hook is weaved through, double crochet normally.
The idea is simple, but it’s an intermediate stitch because pulling it through without dropping the yarn from your hook and maintaining consistent tension while doing it, takes practice. The more you do it, the easier it gets, and once you get going it’s not hard at all! 🙂
You can leave it as is, or put a nice big pom pom on the top. There are many methods for making a pom pom. You can use a store bought pom pom maker, two cardboard circles (harder to wind but produces less yarn waste), your hand, a fork, or a cardboard rectangle. I used the last method.
*Remember that the wider your cardboard is the bigger your pom pom will be. The more you wrap your yarn around, the denser it will be.

And here is how I attached it to the hat:

    LOVED this pattern… I found it ended up a bit long (I may have lost count and added a few too many rows) so I just folded up the bottom. I made a rediciously big Pom Pom, and it's a hit 😉 … now if i could only get my little one to keep it on … Thanks for the pattern 😀

    Just made my first ever beanie. This one. It’s so cute. I used a different colour for the ribbed section which looks great too. Thanks for an awesome pattern. Easy to follow for a beginner. I crochet a bit tight though so only just fits my 6 month old. Just going to have to make another one. Oh no 🙂

    Thanks

      hmmm…I’m not sure. The stitches should have decreased a bit or tightened at the ribbed part. Did you finish the pattern? If you are still struggling, if you have time to email me a picture. I will see how I can help. 🙂

        Oh you were right! When I got to the ribbed part the top magically shaped the correct way! Now it is such a cute hat! I would like to make many as gifts and one each for me and hubby so that we have matching caps, how can I make bigger sizes?

          I had this same issue when I started crocheting hats. Basically the increasing rows will be flat (similar pattern if you’re making a rug) but you start doing only
          1 per stitch around and after a while of not increasing it, a hat begins to take shape 🙂 for instance, I am making this for an adult. I’ll do increase rows until it’s the circumference of her head, then do extra rows with no increase to make it a “slouchy” beanie, per request 🙂

    This hat is so freaking cute! And I love the color you made. I tried to make one for my almost one year old, and just to be safe, I went up a hook size. Much, much too big. Hopefully it’ll fit in a year or so, but I’ll have to figure out a different way to make one his size! 🙂 love the pattern so much, though, and you’re right–the Pom Pom COMPLETELY makes this hat!

      Aw thanks Fran! I haven’t graded this pattern up. I may in the future. The Sloane Hat is graded though is available for purchase for $5 here: http://www.deliacreates.com/2014/01/sloane-hat-crochet-pattern-release.html

      I hate to send you to a paid pattern, but reliable grading takes more work. I also have it tested by a group of people to ensure a good fit and that the pattern works well for many different skill levels.

      I hope that helps!

    Hello Delia,
    My daughter in law who is having a baby in November has fallen in love with your pattern for a ribbed beanie…which is GORGEOUS….thank you. I am just about to order some wool, but thought that I would check that I need “150 ounces” of wool……that is over 4 kilograms. Do you mean grams…if so….that would still mean 3 balls of 50 gram wool????
    Please help???
    Looking forward to hearing from you,
    With thanks,

      Odette,

      You are right. I think I did mean grams. Thanks for catching that. As for how many balls or skeins, it doesn’t use the full 150 grams. That was just the size of my one skein. You might get three balls and then only use some of the third. The ribbing and tight construction of the hat, plus the oversized pom does use a lot of yarn. The pattern is also written in US terms, so you will have to convert stitches accordingly. I hope that helps! I am so glad your daughter in law likes the hat! 🙂

      Mary,

      Good question! I can see how that picture might be misleading. My apologies. That picture is after round one. So you chain four, sl st into the first ch…making the magic ring, then 10 hdc into the magic ring. I will fix the picture, because I can totally see how the picture looks contradictory. I hope that helps you in continuing with the project though!

    Hi! I really love this hat and I know everyone is saying its a super easy pattern, but it’s just not coming out for me! 🙁 Every time I finish row 3, I count around 26-28 stitches, but I never get to 30. Is it really important that I get to 30? Or is there something I’m doing wrong?

      Sorry about that! Let me see if I can help you trouble shoot. Do you count for each row or round? Does it come up short on early rounds? If yes, then you might be skipping a stitch here or there, likely at the end of the round or at the beginning. Please let me know if that helps or if you have other questions. I hate it when a pattern is confusing or not gelling. I am happy to help. 🙂

    This pattern is great! I get so many compliments on the hat I made for my daughter.

    I LOVE this hat! Found it on Pinterest the other day and made one for my 18 month old, although it ended up WAY too big–fortunately it’s been a warm winter, and I think it will be perfect next year! I decided to make another for next year for the little one we are expecting in April so the boys can be twins! I have a question though–in the picture, your FPDC’s end up in these beautiful little V shapes. I made my hats in gray, so they are harder to see, but my FPDC’s look much more like twisted blobs than V’s. I thought I was doing it the way I saw on Youtube, but I’m kind of new to the crochet world and could be making a mistake. Do you have any tips or videos to help get that beautiful look? Thanks so much!

      Camrie,

      Good question! So, honestly I never noticed how my FPDC’s looked so v like. ha. 🙂 Okay, that doesn’t help you. As I crochet them, they look more like twisted pretzel rods to me. The more rows you work, the more the proper pattern emerges. That is true for almost any crochet stitch. The more consistent you get, the better it looks too. If you want to email pictures so that I can help you trouble shoot, I would be happy to do that: [email protected]

      It could be that you are doing great and need to just keep going, but I’ll take a look and see if I can help.

    Hi! I’m going to start making this hat for my boy, however, I am curious what were the measurements you ended up with at the base of the hat with 50 stitches?

    I am trying to make the 12-18 month size, just did a gauge with my size I 5.5mm hook, and I’m at 14 stitches for 10cm, so that comes up to be 35.7cm for 50 stitches. My boy is currently 10 months and his head circumference is already 45.5cm. I’m bringing him to Japan when he’s 20 months, so I’m trying to make it fit for then.

      Hi Chufang,

      I am going to have to guess at this because my daughter no longer fits this hat so I either gave it a to a baby in need or put it in storage. I can’t remember which and I can’t check right now. We just moved and our garage is full of disorganized boxes. Ack! Sorry! Anyway, I am pretty sure, even though this is one of my first crochet patterns, it is in keeping with the size chart of my recent crochet hat patterns. If I’m right, then that would have made this fit a head about 17 inches…maybe 18 inches in circumference. My daughter has always had an on the smaller side of average sized head. I hope that helps?

      Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.

      Delia 🙂

        Hi Delia,

        Thank you for your reply! I’ll prolly have to use a bigger hook and get it to match your sizing then. I’ve also decided I’ll maybe make it a month before the trip, just to make sure the hat fits during the trip, rather than trying to estimate things now. Haha…

          Oh good. I hope that works out! I know what you mean. It’s so hard to predict how and when these kids will grow.

    I just adored this hat. I made it for my 2month old and it was the perfect fit. I followed your easy instructions and looked at the photos and watched youtube for reference. This is by far the best bonnet i have ever made. Looks very professional. It toke me 3hrs to make and my little one looks adorable in it..
    Thanks

    hi, you know where it says ‘make a magic ring’. I’m not suRe how many stitches I’m supposed to put in the magic ring? Thanks.

      Good question! Traditionally a magic ring uses between 10-12 chains. This one uses 10. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

    I really want to make this, the baby I’m making the hat for is 17 months, what hook size should I use? 5.5 or 6?

      Yes, that should be right. Sorry for the lack of metric hook sizes. This was one of my first patterns. 😉

    Hi Delia!

    Do you have an adult size pattern for this hat? It would be perfect for a friend of mine!!

      I don’t. I’m sorry. You can always add 2-3 more increasing rounds, plus a few more rows at the end and it should make the hat bigger. I hope that helps!

        Thanks! I’m new to crochet, so pardon me if my next question is silly… Would I need to add more chains to start?

          Not silly at all. So, for this hat, you are working in the round and starting at the top of the hat and working your way down. So, you want to start small and build out. Does that answer your question?

    Hi Delia, I am desperate to make this beanie but as I live in Australia and crochet with uk terms, I need to have the printed pattern so that I can change the stitches on the pattern (so I don’t get confused). I understand you don’t want anybody using the images, but is there a way that I can download the instructions?
    Thanks.

    Hi, I know this is old but just found it, I want to make the 6-12 month, would I use a size 4mm hook?
    Thanks and love the pattern!

      Hi Natasha!

      I would actually use a 5 mm hook and work the pattern up as is. It may be slightly baggy for a little while, but I think it would last longer. You could certainly use a 4 mm hook if you feel like your baby has a smaller head though. I hope that helps!

    Hi Delia,
    I am really new to crocheting in rounds and I’m having a hard time with this one. Am I supposed to only chain one at the beginning of new rounds, I was doing this but it didn’t seem tall enough and it feels like it’s making it hard to stitch in the first stitch.
    Thanks

      Hi Olivia! That’s a great question. As a personal preference I use less chains at the start of a new round or row. I do this to create a more seamless look. That is pretty typical of my patterns but it does deviate from most crochet patterns. If finding that first chain is frustrating for you, certainly chain two instead of just one. That is more of the standard way of doing things anyway and should work better for you. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions and I’ll see if I can lend support.

      Best,

      Delia

    I absolutely love this hat! I’ve had such a hard time finding a simple, yet cute for my four boys. My boys are all older (2, 3, 5, 9). Do you have any instructions with larger sizes than baby? I have no clue how to increase pattern size yet so any help you could provide would be amazing! Thanks for your amazing site!!

      I have a pattern that is pretty similar for sale. I also have free adult patterns that you are a little more intricate but you wouldn’t have to size up. Here is my favorite one: https://www.deliacreates.com/skip-twist-cabled-beanie-free-crochet-pattern/
