Knitting
Pattern - Pompom Instruction
Note: Pompom makers may
be purchased in most needlework supply stores; however, if you choose to make
your own, here are the instructions.
Instruction:
1. Cut two cardboard circles the size you
wish the finished pompom to be, then cut a small hole about the size of a dime
in the center of each one.

2. Measure off approximately 6 strands of
yarn, 2 yards long; hold the two cardboard discs together in your left hand and
wind the strands of yarn through the hole and around the rim as shown below.
The quantity of yarn used will determine the fullness of the pompom.

3. Insert sharp scissors carefully between
the two cardboard discs and cut the yarn all around.
4. Separate the discs slightly, take a
strand of yarn 12 inches long and wind around the cut strands (between the
discs) twice and tie tightly.
5. Remove the discs and trim any stray
ends.
