I thought I'd create a detailed tutorial on how to make a pom pom which links up with a Pom Pom jumper I created.

Instructions

  1. Small p1040059

    Cut off wool that's roughly the size of your palm

  2. Small p1040060

    Place in middle of fork

  3. Small p1040062

    Use your big ball of yarn to wrap around fork

  4. Small p1040063

    BE careful that the piece you cut off stays in the center of the fork adjacent while wrapping the wool around the fork

  5. Small p1040064

    I would encourage you to experiment with sizes but i find the size of a small plum works for me

  6. Small p1040066

    Get the center piece of wool you started off with and tie a really tight knot, so tight the wool bunches up like this and then tie a second know so it stays in place

  7. Small p1040068

    Now cut off the wool you've been wrapping

  8. Small p1040069

    turn the fork around and start cutting down the center

  9. Small p1040070

    Because the wool is thick you might have to cut several times

  10. Small p1040071

    Almost there!

    Fluff it up and cut off any long bits. and there you have it a cute wool pom pom.
