A small sock can become beanie hat.  I used the Cable Knit Pattern side for front.
Sew the toe part and heel part together.If you have small socks you can make a beanie hat. (see more)
Cut off extra parts so that the pattern you want goes to the front.
Sew the toe portion and heel portion from the inside. Square and triangular shapes are your choice.
