Description

A super fast way to make pom poms, sew them on for a cute finish to all your knitted projects!

Instructions

  1. Small 110022 2f2015 07 21 111618 img 8379

    Cut an 8" piece from a ball of yarn

  2. Small 110022 2f2015 07 21 111635 img 8380

    Wrap yarn from the ball around your hand. I used super chunky yarn and wrapped it 50 times.

  3. Small 110022 2f2015 07 21 111707 img 8382

    Thread 8" length yarn between your middle and ring fingers as shown.

  4. Small 110022 2f2015 07 21 111754 img 8383

    It should look like this at the back of your hand.

  5. Small 110022 2f2015 07 21 111824 img 8384

    Tie the 8" piece of yarn with two overhand knots as tightly as possible.

  6. Small 110022 2f2015 07 21 111904 img 8385

    Slip it off the hand and cut the loops at either side.

  7. Small 110022 2f2015 07 21 111926 img 8386

    It'll be pretty messy at first!

  8. Small 110022 2f2015 07 21 111944 img 8387

    Trim the ends and roll it in your palms to neaten it up!
