When your little one asks you to specifically make a Toto Hat for him, you do it. This design was inspired by my son’s random and constant request for something he calls the Toto Hat. He runs around our kitchen yelling, “Mommy make Toto Hat!” while unraveling a special ball of yarn he is allowed to explore. This pattern has been approved by him; don’t you worry! Enjoy making the Toto Hat!

Sized for the whole family, with instructions for two different rim sizes, this hat is one that’s so fun to knit it’s hard to put down! And did I mention, it’s reversible? 2-color fisherman’s rib resembles brioche with its squishy double fabric, and can be an incredibly rewarding stitch pattern to start with.
