Own your craft and make something decidedly “extra” this year! A generous sprinkling of sequins transforms this basic beanie into a head-turning hat. Although the sequins do take some extra time to add, they are not a difficult skill to master. With just a little bit of patience, you will be able to rock your own beanie for all of this year’s celebrations!
