Why You’ll Love the Ridgeline Stripes Crochet Hat
The Ridgeline Stripes Crochet Hat is a PULAD pattern - where we have multiple active loops going all at once! Crocheted in gorgeous Katia Merino Baby yarn, the shifting shades of green and purple create beautiful stripes and change every row. This yarn is bouncy with great stitch definition, but you can swap it out if you have a wool allergy. The textured ridges add plenty of visual and tactile interest, and the way we carry the yarns inside the hat creates a smooth but attractive braid. In fact, it looks so good, it makes this hat pattern reversible!
Crocheted top down, this pattern creates a cozy beanie with two distinct looks. You can add a pom pom or leave it as is - choose your colors and make it your own!
