We’re living in historic and difficult times. During a global pandemic and subsequent quarantine, getting a haircut is a challenge. No worries, I’m here to help keep you safe and stylish! You can make a hat that will cover your #quarantinehair and fit seamlessly into your wardrobe.

For ages, women with textured hair have covered their tresses with silk and satin scarves to prevent frizz. Adding a silky lining to a knitted hat is a stylish and modern interpretation of that hair-saving trick, and it is convenient for all genders! If you’re a sporty/outdoorsy person, you might appreciate a moisture-wicking lining. If you’re living in a cold climate, you may want to line yours with fleece. Or maybe you have sensitive skin and wool hats make your forehead itch. Alternatively, a lined hat is a thoughtful gift for someone suffering from alopecia or undergoing cancer treatment. There are endless reasons to line a hat!

I hope you enjoy this beginner-friendly pattern and learn a few things in the process. I’m so excited to share this project with you!

Construction:

This hat is both a knitting AND sewing pattern. My intention is to use this pattern as a teaching tool to help knitters learn how to sew - and vice versa! The construction will serve as a learning tool for those who would like to learn top-down raglan sweater knitting. If you can knit this hat, you can make any of my raglan sweater designs!

You will learn how to:

  • knit a top-down hat
  • work magic loop
  • work the easiest tubular bind off - a sewn bind off
  • sew stretch fabrics
  • machine sew a beanie lining
  • hand sew the lining into a knitted hat

Sizes:

Small (Medium, Large)
to fit head circumferences of 19.5 (21, 23) inches / 49.5 (53, 58.5) cm. 
Shown in size L with an intended 2” / 5 cm of negative ease.
If you are between sizes, it is recommended that you choose one size down.

Recommended Yarn:

Ritual Dyes, Elder, 100 g = 190 yards / 174 m per skein. One skein will suffice for all sizes including a 4 x 4” / 10 x 10 cm swatch. Colorways shown are Forsythia, Smoke, and Chromite.

Alternative Yarns:

Light Worsted to DK weight yarns

Fabric:

1/4 yards of knit (not woven) four-way stretch fabric.
For example: Silk jersey, regular jersey, moisture-wicking jersey for those who enjoy sports, or fleece for warmth.

Needles:

  • US 5 / 3.75 mm as the main needle on 32” / 81 cm cable for magic loop or needle size needed to achieve gauge. 
  • US 4 / 3.5 mm for ribbing. Choose a 32” / 81cm cable for magic loop OR 16” / 40cm cable for working in the round. Go down one needle size from the main needle to work the ribbing.
  • Optional: US 5 / 3.75 mm circular needles on a 16” / 40cm cable.
