Let it Snow...

A quick and simple knit, perfect as a first knitting project and introduction to cables. Worked in the round in Garter stitch, it looks completely seamless by placing the end of the round right before the cable.

The garter fabric creates lots of stretch making this beanie perfect for a teen or an adult.A sweet handmade Pom-Pom finishes off this adorable accessory.
