Protect Your Crown : A Silk-Lined Beanie Pattern

Soft on curls. Strong on style. Designed for every body.

Your curls deserve protection, and your winter wardrobe deserves a hat that’s as luxurious as it is warm. This beanie is knit with a mulberry silk lining that glides against your hair, reducing frizz and breakage, while the merino wool outer layer brings that cozy, warmth you love.

This digital pattern pack includes:

✨ The signature silk-lined beanie pattern

✨ A double-knit hat pattern for extra squish + structure

✨ Tips & techniques for adding a silk lining to any hat you’ve already made!

Perfect for adventurous beginners, this project uses a provisional cast-on, intuitive shaping, and simple stitches that build confidence. If you can knit and purl, you’re ready.

Size-inclusive? Absolutely.

My patterns are written in a made-to-measure format, because handmade clothing should fit your body, not a generic chart. You’ll take a few measurements, make a gauge swatch, and do a little light math (don’t worry, I walk you through it). The algorithms are built in. The fit is customized. The result is yours.

When you choose a Mother of Purl pattern, you’re not just downloading instructions. You’re entering an experience that encourages intuitive knitting, creative exploration, and deep confidence in your own hands. You’ll learn, experiment, and grow with every stitch.

Protect your curls. Elevate your craft. Knit a beanie that feels as good as it looks.

Settle in, grab your yarn, and let this beanie become your next favorite make.
