Making the Pompom:

1. Begin by wrapping the yarn around one of the arms. Stop when the arm is full and looks like the picture below.

2. Cut your yarn and fold the full side back to the middle. Repeat the wrapping on the other side.

3. Cut your yarn and fold the two arms back to the middle.

4. Now take a pair of sharp scissors and cut around the outside of the pompom maker.

5. Cut a length of yarn approximately, wrap it around the circumference of the circle several times and tie a secure knot. Make sure you leave a long enough tail so that you can sew the pompom to your hat. We recommend you give your pompom a trim to make sure it’s looking .

6. Ta da! You have a big squishy pompom with minimum fuss and maximum fun!
