Tips for Knitting with 3 Strands of Yarn Held Together
Knitting with three strands of yarn held together is an easy way to create a thick, warm fabric with a unique marled look. For this Men’s Triple Knit Hat, simply hold all three strands together and treat them as though they are one strand of yarn throughout the entire pattern.
Here are a few tips to make triple-strand knitting easier:
Keep each skein separate. Place the three skeins beside you rather than stacking them together to help prevent tangling.
Pull yarn from the same direction. Using all three strands from either the outside or center of the skeins can help them feed more evenly.
Watch your tension. Try not to pull the yarn too tightly. Multiple strands naturally create a thicker fabric.
Check every stitch. Make sure your needle goes underneath all three strands when knitting each stitch.
Untwist the yarn occasionally. If the strands start wrapping around one another, stop and separate the skeins before continuing.
Make a gauge swatch first. Different combinations of yarn can dramatically change the finished gauge and size.
Experiment with color. Combining three coordinating shades creates a subtle marled effect, while contrasting colors produce a bolder, more textured appearance.
Keep all three strands together when finishing. When working the crown and weaving in ends, continue treating the strands as a group unless the pattern specifies otherwise.
Once you get into a rhythm, knitting with three strands at once feels much like knitting with a single strand—and the extra-thick fabric makes this hat especially cozy for cold weather.
