I love making beanies from the bottom up. I think they have a really flattering shape and just a bit of slouch. I created a photo tutorial for How to Finish a Beanie Made from the Bottom Up.
I’ve used this technique for quite a few beanies
Woven Beanie // Mulberry Beanie // Pinetop Beanie
How to Finish a Beanie Made from the Bottom Up Tutorial

(the Double Brim Cable Beanie is pictured)
After you finished your beanie, leave a long end for sewing.
With your yarn needle, weave the end in and out of the top loops of the last round
Pull the end tight to cinch the top closed
Secure the top closed by sewing back and forth across the opening a couple times
Fasten off and weave in you ends!
I hope this quick tutorial was helpful for you 🙂

Great instructions! Love the hat and really appreciate the directions on how to finish off the top. Very helpful!
Thank you!!
closing off the top..is it right side out or wrong side out?
Hi! I don’t think it matters either way 🙂
Inside out is best then you can hide the ends
