Unique Striped Crochet Hat Pattern – Geowave Hat

Design by Sarah Ruane from Ned & Mimi.

The Geowave Hat is a striped crochet hat with a really unique texture! And this crochet hat pattern is definitely simpler than it looks.

This hat is crocheted from the bottom up, starting with the ribbing. And the best thing is, once you get the hang of the first row or two, it’s a one-row repeat for most of the hat body. So, it requires just a little concentration at the start, and then you’re good to go 🙂

The crochet pattern is written for 4 sizes, from Baby up to Adult Large, so this is a great pattern to make in bulk for gifts.

Finished Sizes: Baby, Child, Adult

Materials

Yarn: Any #4/Medium/Worsted weight yarn will work great for this pattern. For my hat I used Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran (184m/201yds per 100g skein; Weight 4/Aran; 100% Acrylic).
Hooks:
- For this hat you will need two different hooks, a smaller one for the ribbing (to ensure a nice, snug fit!) and then a larger one for the body of the hat.
- For my hat, I used a 4mm (G-6) crochet hook for the ribbing, and a 5mm (H-8) hook for the body. You can use any hooks that allow you to meet the gauge listed in the pattern.
Other supplies: The hat is worked from the bottom-up in joined rounds. It is a good idea to use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of each round! You’ll also need a yarn needle to weave in those ends.
