Triple Knit Toddler Hat aka The Warmest Hat Ever!!! -

Spread the love

If you only make one winter hat for your little ones this year, this should be it! I’ve knitted dozens of hats for my little guy in all types of yarn and this is by far the warmest. This hat is made by knitting with three strands of yarn at once. Working with the three strands at once isn’t that much different than working with a single strand. There’s a few things to remember:
1) Make sure you keep the 3 strands together at all times while knitting. Sometimes they want to split up when inserting the needle into the stitch.
2) Keep the 3 different skeins of yarn apart from each other while you are working. If you don’t they will knot together. I made this mistake and had a big mess to untangle!
Overall, this is a pretty basic hat to knit. I love how the three different yarns created their own pattern. I think this hat would look great in other colors too. Enjoy the pattern!
