Pom-Pom

With white:
(1) Begin by laying out a strand of yarn about 18" in length. (2) Using your hand with your fingers slightly spaced, (3) wrap yarn around your hand 50-70 times. (4) Carefully slip the yarn off your hand and place it centered on top of the 18" strand. (5) Tie a knot twice. (6) With your tapestry needle secure the center of the pom-pom by sewing through the center with each end a few times. (7) This next part is optional but I like to make sure my pom-poms are very secure so next I run a bead of either fabric or Elmer's glue around the center. Let the glue dry. (8) Cut through each loop. (9) Trim pom-pom to desired size being sure not to trim the original 18" strand. Use this strand to sew the pom-pom to the top of the hat.

    Can I use a bulky (5) weight yarn to make this? Would I use a smaller hook?

      If you scroll up, it shows she used a bulky (6) yarn for this project, so you'd be fine with a bulky 5, but I"d go up a hook size to match gauge!

    Love it. Was super easy, 2 hr project. I used super chunky chenille yarn and a larger hook, due to not having an L hook. Had to adjust a bit due to that, but I love how it turned out. I shared my final results on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/FairyQueenAxel/chunky-santa-hat

    Thank you for sharing. This gave me something to help feel more festive on a very lonely Christmas weekend.

    Love this! I didn't have chunky (6) yarn, so I used 2 strands of worsted (4) weight together, and it worked out perfectly.
