This ribbed crochet beanie pattern will become your go-to hat every year! The Amaia Beanie is ideal for all your winter adventures and bad hair days. The classic faux-knit ribbing makes the hat classic and modern the fold-up brim is the perfect way to adjust the amount of slouch.
One day when I was scrolling on Pinterest, (what else is new?) I saw a knit-ribbed beanie that had this beautiful ribbing with the brim folded up.
I knew I instantly had to recreate the beanie in crochet!
It took a lot of experimenting and swatching to get the stitch pattern just right. In fact, there were a few times that I wanted to give up. But I was then reminded of how modern and timeless the hat on Pinterest was. I knew I really wanted to recreate this hat, and this gave me the motivation I needed!
I chose to give the experimenting for a break for a couple of days before I picked it back up again. After a few days away from it, I was able to pick it back up again and I was finally able to come up with the perfect stitch combination!
This hat has become my favorite beanie to wear – and I’m not even a hat person! But I wear this beanie all the time. It is perfect for those cold, winter days and for bad hair days:) The free pattern is below!
