Ripple Lace Hat

"Just in time for holiday making, try the Ripple Lace Beanie – a free textured crochet hat pattern! I really love the Ripple Lace stitch. The combination of single crochet, double crochet and front post treble make for a wonderful textured pattern that is just perfect for a beanie! This pattern is written for adults in sizes small and large. I made the small size, which is 18″ and it fits my 20″ adult head perfectly because it has a decent amount of stretch due to the nature of the stitch used. So if you want to make for an older child or teen, the adult small should work perfectly.
