About the Hills and Valleys Ribbed Beanie
We live in a world of uncertainty, and today it seems even more apparent. As the entire world tries to figure out the best way to fight a virus and schools and businesses close their doors we find ourselves closed in our houses trying to figure out what to do with our time.
I encourage you to use this time to grow closer to your families. Spend time together playing games, making puzzles, and learning together.
I am going to be working on crochet patterns to post on the blog that are quick and easy that you can complete during this time and maybe even use to teach your family members how to crochet too.
The first free crochet pattern is the Hills and Valleys Ribbed Beanie. I know that we are all dreaming of Spring, and warmer weather so we can be outside, but I couldn’t resist sharing this simple winter hat pattern. I only wish I had a green one to share today for St Patrick’s Day!
Anyways, this ribbed beanie free crochet pattern includes all sizes so it will fit a baby, toddler, child, tween, small adult, or large adult. It works great for guys and girls alike. You’ll just need some worsted weight yarn, a crochet hook, and a pompom to follow this easy tutorial.

Hello, I love your hat pattern. Do you have the pattern for X-Large men’s size?
Thank you :)
Hello Leticia,
I have updated the Hills and Valleys Ribbed Beanie and added a larger size for men.
I have scrolled over and over can’t find the blue beanie hat pattern please help. Thanks
Hello Carlotta,
I am sorry the pattern was difficult to find. I am happy to help. When you scroll there is a photo of three different sizes of the beanies, a blue one, white one, and red one. The pattern is directly below this photo. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I am happy to help. Carol
