Description
Wrap up in cozy texture with the Sheltering Ridge Beanie! This crochet puff stitch beanie is worked flat in one simple rectangle, then seamed and cinched at the top. There’s no working in the round and no decrease shaping. The raised puffs have a cobblestone-like look, and a ribbed brim finishes it off. It’s soft, squishy, and warm.

- Ad-free, printable PDF with the complete written pattern

About this design: The Sheltering Ridge Beanie is my 2026 design for the Crochet Cancer Challenge hosted by Sweet Potato 3, created in support of brain cancer awareness. The puff stitch was designed to feel like shelter and comfort, for anyone who needs to be wrapped up in something warm.
