#Hat with pompom full
Trim to form and voila! Done.Hi Pomcats! Autumn is in full swing for many of us, what are your knitting plans this season? Well, what better way to get inspired than to cosy up with our latest episode and enjoy our chat with authors Kiyomi and Sachiko Burgin. Using a separate piece of yarn, secure in the middle of the pom pom and tie tight to secure. Insert your scissors between the two pieces of cardboard and carefully cut around, being careful not to lose any of the yarn bits through the Pac-Man’s mouth. Lay the circles together and wrap the yarn around and around. The larger the circle, the larger the pom pom. Using a cereal box or other cardboard (the sturdier the better) cut out two Pac-Man lookin’ circles exactly the same size. Then, using another piece of yarn, tie around the center and gently remove from the chair legs. Push the legs as close together as possible (it is better to lay the chairs down) and wrap your yarn around two of the legs. In this instance, you’ll use two chair legs as substitutes for the toilet paper rolls above. Tie it tight to secure, cut up both sides. Trim to form and voila! Done.
Gently pull the yarn off of your hand, wrap another piece around the center of the yarn ball. Simply wrap around and around your hand until you get enough yarn. Making pom poms with your handīasically the same idea as the concepts above. Gently pull the yarn off of the fork and cut up both sides to create the pom pom. Now you’ll thread another piece of the yarn through the center tines, and tie a secure knot. Wrap and wrap and wrap until you get the desired amount of yarn. Using a fork, wrap yarn around all tines. Once the yarn is off the tubes, tie it tight and cut around both edges of the pom pom (where the toilet paper rolls were previously). Gently push the yarn toward one end of the tube, being careful to hold onto both ends of the yarn you’re using to securely tie the pom pom together. Take another piece of yarn (about a foot long should suffice) and work it between the two tubes and tie a tentative knot. Wrap yarn around and around and around the two tubes until you’ve got a good amount of yarn. You’re going to lay two empty toilet paper rolls together. Want to try with items at home before committing to buying a pom pom maker? Read on, friend! Making pom poms with Toilet Paper Rolls If you plan on making a bunch (like in the mohawk hats using pom poms) you might splurge and get yourself a set. I have all four sizes of the Clover pom pom makers, and I have gotten to where I only need about a minute and half for each one! This set of pom pom makers is similar and at a fraction of the cost. I have personally used all of these methods, but I still find that making pom poms with actual pom pom makers easiest (and a heck of a lot faster).
The most important thing is to make sure you have enough yarn wrapped around your maker, so that you get a nice, fluffy and dense pom pom. Need something in the middle of those two sizes? Try two chair legs pushed together! Using toilet paper rolls makes for quite large pom poms, while using a fork creates quite small pom poms (great to replace bows on gifts!). It is important to note that the size of your pom pom maker (whichever method you choose) will determine the size of your finished pom poms. You can use a traditional pom pom maker or toilet paper rolls or a fork, or chair legs or even a cardboard cutout. Make pom poms out of yarn or with faux fur like these. Pom poms: either you love them or you hate them.
