Tot Knot is a precious hat that features a knot at the top with or without tassels. It is most commonly knit with 2 strands of fingering weight yarn held together. (A great way to stash bust your sock yarn!) It can also be knit with a sport weight yarn for a lighter weight hat.

To make the bow, simply knit longer tabs and tie them in a bow!
