Ridge Sideways Beanie

This pattern dynamically calculates the rows and stitches based on your inputs into the PDF. In order for the pattern to work correctly, you will need to open the pattern in Chrome when on your computer, and Adobe Reader (free app!) when on your phone.

Meet the Ridge Sideways Beanie, a cozy, modern beanie worked sideways for that satisfying ribbed texture and a super customizable fit. This is a Mae to Measure pattern, which means the PDF does the math for you based on the info you type in, so you can make it for virtually any head size using any yarn weight.

The construction is simple but clever: you’ll use short rows to shape the crown, then customize the length so you can wear it fitted, slouchy, or with a fold-over brim (or a deeper fold if you want extra warmth). It’s a great “make one for everyone” pattern! It's quick to repeat, easy to personalize, and perfect for stash yarn.
