Solmu beanie is an easy knit with a cable in front. It is knitted in DK yarn which will keep you warm even in a colder climate. The beanie can be used in several ways according to your style. Roll it short and show the cable on your forehead or let the tip of the beanie hang loose on your back of your head. The cable will look identical on the right and wrong side of the beanie. You are free to choose your style!
