Wearing any type of hat shouldn’t affect your BOTOX® results, provided it’s not putting an excessive amount of pressure on the injection site. For several hours up to a day following your BOTOX® session, avoid rubbing or massaging the targeted area to help maximize your results. Similarly, we recommend that you remain in an upright position for the next couple of hours after your injections. Other than these few guidelines, you can go about your normal routine and activities.
Dear sly315,Commonly after Botox we have patients refrain from vigorous activity and sleeping on the face for a period of 4 hours after injections around the eyes. I am unaware of any adverse event regarding wearing a hat immediately after injections of Botox in the forehead. I hope this helps :)Be healthy and be well,James M.

I think it's pretty unlikely that a knitted winter would affect your Botox. In my office a tip recommend patients avoid vigorous activity or lying down for four hours after Botox injection.
As long as the hat isn't in contact with the treated area, you should be fine. If you're concerned, you can wait a few hours before wearing it. Best, Dr. Emer
That hat will have no bearing on your treatment. If the hat is in contact with treated skin, I would advise you not to wear the hat for a few hours. Other than that, that what is not a concern.
