You have 18 stitches left on your needles. Cut the yarn, keeping 15 cm of length. Thread your wool needle on your yarn and go through your stitches one by one to close the top of the beanie.
Finish your beanie by tucking in the yarn with your wool needle.
To embellish your hat, you can hang a pompom on it. In terms of customization, I also suggest you add a line of embroidery on the side edge with gold thread.
