Finish the beanie by sewing a big pom pom at the top to give it a gorgeous look.
You can attach a removable Faux fur pom pom if you want. Sew a button inside the beanie and then just attach the pom pom to the button.
Pom Pom:
You can make a white or red pom pom using the same yarn you used for the beanie.
There are various ways of making pom pom, but I like to use the pompom maker I got from Michaels. It’s easy to use and you don’t waste any yarn while cutting the edges to make it even.
You can also use a faux fur pom pom if you like.
Fasten off and weave in all ends. Hope you enjoy making this beanie.
