How to Make a pompom:
- Wrap yarn 70 times around either four of your fingers or a 3" wide piece of cardboard.
- Slip the yarn off your fingers/cardboard being careful not to let it unwind.
- Tie a 10" piece of yarn tightly around the center of the loops. See tip above.
- Cut the loops of yarn and trim these cut ends so they make a neat pompom. Do not cut the long tying string until you have trimmed the pompom as these ends are a good way to hold the pompom while you trim it.
How to Make a Fashion Scarf:
- Follow the directions above to make approximately 40 pompoms.
- If you have not done so yet, cut off the long strings used to tie the pompoms.
- When making the pompoms, try to keep them as uniform in size as possible.
- Cut a piece of yarn 70" long. Double knot one end of the yarn and thread the other end onto a yarn needle.
- Pass the needle through the center of one of the pompoms and slide it down to the knotted end of the yarn.
- Pass the needle through the center of another pompom and slide this pompom down to meet the previous pompom.
- Continue adding pompoms until the scarf is the length you wish.
- Remove the yarn needle. Double knot the end of the yarn and cut off any excess yarn.
- * Tip: When you need to tie string around something - after crossing the ends and tucking one end under, tuck the same end under a second time before completing the knot. This will help keep the string much tighter while you complete the knot.
