Roll up the last 3 rounds of the beanie to create the brim.

Pom Pom

To make a mini pom pom:

1) With yarn in White, wrap the yarn around 3 fingers many times, creating a small yarn spool. The more you wrap, the denser the pom pom will be.

2) Slip the yarn off your fingers. Cut a 10-inch long strand of yarn in the same color.

3) Take the long strand of yarn and tightly cinch the spool in the middle, then tie a knot to secure it.

4) With your scissors, cut all the loops on each side.

5) You pom pom will look uneven with many stands in varying lengths.

6) Use your scissors to trim up the pom pom, making it more spherical in shape. Be sure to keep the long strands from where you tied the securing knot. You will use these to sew the pom pom to the top of the beanie!
