Ribbed & Textured Crochet Beanie (Mama & Mini) – Pattern Step-by-Step 


Materials

  • Worsted or Aran weight yarn (multicolor works beautifully)

  • 5.0 mm crochet hook (H) for adult size

  • 4.5 mm crochet hook for mini size

  • Faux fur pom pom

  • Yarn needle

  • Scissors

  • Optional: leather tags


Sizes

  • Mama (Adult): ~22″ (56 cm) circumference

  • Mini (Toddler/Child): ~18″ (46 cm) circumference

Both hats are worked flat, side-to-side, then seamed and cinched at the top.


Stitches Used

  • ch – chain

  • sc – single crochet

  • dc – double crochet

  • fpdc – front post double crochet

  • bpdc – back post double crochet

  • blo – back loop only


Texture Explanation

The hat in the image uses:

  • Ribbing at the bottom → sc in BLO

  • Vertical textured stripes → alternating dc, fpdc, and bpdc
    This gives the knit-look ridges.



STEP-BY-STEP PATTERN


1️⃣ Start with the brim (worked sideways)

Adult size:
Ch 13
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (12 sc). Ch 1, turn.
Row 2–45: sc in BLO across (12 sts). Ch 1, turn.
(Adjust number of rows to fit head circumference.)

Mini size:
Ch 11 → work same sequence but repeat only 38 rows.

This creates a stretchy ribbed band.


2️⃣ Join the brim

Fold the strip in half, bring first and last row together.
Sl st across to seam the brim into a loop.
Do not fasten off.


3️⃣ Work the body of the hat (vertical texture)

You will now work along the edge of the ribbed brim.

Round 1:
Ch 2 (does not count as a st).
Work 1 dc per row around the brim’s edge.
Sl st to join.
(Adult ~45 sts, Mini ~38 sts.)


Texture Pattern Rounds (repeat these):

Round A:
Ch 2.
*fpdc in next st, dc in next st, bpdc in next st, dc in next st*
Repeat around.
Sl st to join.

Round B:
Ch 2.
*bpdc in next fpdc, dc in next dc, fpdc in next bpdc, dc in next dc*
Sl st to join.

Repeat Round A + Round B until the hat reaches the desired height.

Adult height: ~9–10 inches (23–25 cm)
Mini height: ~7–8 inches (18–20 cm)


4️⃣ Crown shaping (top closing)

These hats appear lightly decreased but mostly cinched.

Last 2 rounds:
Switch to sc to tighten the top.
Round 1: sc in each st around.
Round 2: sc2tog around.
Fasten off leaving a long tail.

Use yarn needle to weave through stitches at the top, pull tight to close.


5️⃣ Add Pom Pom

Sew the faux-fur pom pom firmly on top.


6️⃣ Add Tag (Optional)

Attach leather “MAMA” and “MINI” tags to the folded brim.
