I hope you like my pattern. Please share pictures with me on Instagram or Facebook. I love to see your creations!
Photos are from my LOVE Beanie.
Use your large pom pom maker and worsted weight yarn. I used Pretty-n-Pink, Turqua and Bright Yellow.
Firmly and evenly wind your yarn around each set of arches. After the first set of arches, close them and then wind your yarn around the second set.
Cut the yarn between each set of arches.
Use your scrap piece of yarn to tie the pom pom. I recommend you double/triple knot it.
Carefully open the arches.
Use a hot melt adhesive to place a dab of glue in the center of the pom pom. This will help prevent it from unraveling.
Fluff your pom pom and trim any long ends.
Use a tapestry needle to attach your pom pom to the top of your hat.
As always, please share pictures with me on Instagram or Facebook. I really do love to see your creations!
