I’m always looking for a simple quick hat pattern that I can mindlessly knit while watching a show. I added in the bonus of using 3 strands held together so you can play with many interesting colour combos simply by switching out on of the fingering weight strands, with the added warmth of mohair. I have included instructions for 5 sizes so everyone in your family gets a warm hat for Christmas. Great pattern for beginner knitters who have a little knowledge reading patterns.

Toddler (Adult Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large)

2 strands of fingering weight yarn with one strand of lace weight is equal to DK- heavy DK weight yarn. Doing a WPI test will help with yarn gauge. If you are a loose knitter then I recommend going down a hat size.
