Looking for free crochet patterns that are quick, modern, and fun to make?
This Double Ridge Crochet Beanie is the perfect easy crochet hat pattern to add to your next crochet project.
Worked with double crochet stitches in a simple stitch pattern, this design creates a fun texture and stylish ridge effect that looks great in any solid color.
Whether you’re making a new hat for yourself or stocking up for market prep, this pattern is a great one-ball project that works up fast with worsted weight yarn or soft acrylic yarn.
This free crochet hat pattern is written in five sizes, so you can easily find the right size based on head circumference and stitch counts.
You’ll start at the top of your beanie, work toward the bottom of your beanie, and finish the last st and end of the row for a smooth finish.
The skill level is easy, making this pattern perfect for confident beginners and seasoned crocheters alike.
A video tutorial is included in the blog post to help you follow along step by step using US terms.

Size Chart:
Gauge (double crochet):
12 sts × 8 rows = 4″
Note:
Fasten off and weave in ends after the last round on each size.
Special Stitches (back post single crochet):
BPSC stands for Back Post Single Crochet. It’s a crochet stitch variation where instead of inserting your hook under the top two loops as in a regular single crochet, you work around the back post of the stitch from the previous round. This creates a ribbed, textured effect that looks like vertical ridges.
How to Make a BPSC:
Insert your hook from back to front, then to back again around the post of the stitch below.
Yarn over, pull up a loop (two loops on hook).
Yarn over, pull through both loops.
