Ridges and Ravines Prem Beanie

Hello again,
Today's hat is a fun little one that is full of texture. Works beautifully in all colours too. This hat will fit a bub of 30-32 weeks gestation.

You will need:

R1: ch2, 8hdc in the second chain from hook, join

R2: ch3, dc in the same stitch, *fpdc around the next stitch post, dc in the top of the same stitch you just crocheted around (this creates the increase like a normal hat while starting the ridges)* repeat around, join (18 in total, 8dc's, 8fpdc's)

R3: ch3, dc in the same stitch, dc in the next stitch (which will be the top of the fpdc from the previous round), fpdc around the fpdc from the previous round, *dc in the next stitch, dc in the next stitch (which will be the top of the fpdc from the previous round), fpdc around the fpdc from the previous round* repeat around, join (27)

R4: ch3, dc in the same stitch, dc in the next stitch, dc in the next stitch (which will be the top of the fpdc from the previous round), fpdc around the fpdc from the previous round, *dc in the next 2 stitches, dc in the next stitch (which will be the top of the fpdc from the previous round), fpdc around the fpdc from the previous round* repeat around, join

R5-8: ch3, *dc in the next 3 dc's, fpdc around the next fpdc* repeat aorund, join.

R9-11: ch2, hdc in the 3rd loop (the back BACK loop, you can see here) around, join.
