The Ripple hat is a crochet pattern for men and boys. I set out to make a simple, unisex crochet beanie and as soon as I got done, both my husband and son grabbed their size. I hadn’t even taken pictures yet! Finding crochet patterns for men that my boys don’t think are too “girly” or “preppy” is not an easy task. You can understand that I was pretty pleased when this easy to make hat got snatched up HOTH :)) The crochet beanie for boys works up quickly.

Use a 5 mm US size H hook for a fitted look or go up a hook size for a slouchier version.
