Winter Is Coming Ribbed Beanie Crochet Pattern

The Winter Is Coming Beanie is a thick, cozy crochet hat that copies the look of the knitted fisherman's rib. It is worked flat in rows of half double crochet in the back loop only, so the ribs are very stretchy and pretty. The hat is fully customizable to any head size, and the sample is 49 cm around and 32 cm high.

A 2-page beginner pattern for a ribbed beanie in any size, using an 8 mm hook.
