pom-pom. (For a smaller pom pom, wind
around 2 or 3 fingers. For a larger pompom,
wind around a 4 or 5 inch piece of cardboard. A larger pompom on a 4
inch cardboard was used in this design.)

center with a length of yarn.
3. Cut open the loops on the ends.

shape. Tie the pompom on the top of the hat.
