Beanies are a must-have accessories in the winter weather where I live. The biggest decision is: double-brimmed or double layered? But why not both?
The Everyday Cables Beanie is a double layered beanie that features stockinette on one side and cables on the other and completely reversible. There are instructions to keep it as a simple double layered beanie or to extend it so the brim can be folded up. The brim adds a little pizzazz by showing off the other side of the beanie. If you don’t need the extra layer the brim provides, it can be worn as a slouchy beanie. My favorite way to wear my beanie is with the cabled brim folded over on the stockinette side.
