This is not another ordinary knit beanie pattern! The geometric design of this slouchy knit hat makes it just as much fun to knit as it is to wear. Create your own one-of-a-kind slouchy knit hat by using any combination of complimentary colors for the geometric pattern. The possibilities are endless!

The color stranding in this easy knitting pattern is ideal for knitters who are just starting to learn colorwork. Only the knit stitch is used, and a pattern chart is included to be used as a color guide.

This hat gets its name from the motif that uses a repeat of triangles in addition to the use of three colors of yarn. Triangles are said to be symbolic of harmony and creativity. They can also represent trinities, such as:

Spirit, mind, and body

Love, truth, and wisdom

Will, love, and intelligence

and many others.
