Making the pompom
Wrap yarn around your forefinger about 20 times. Not too tightly.
Slip the yarn carefully off your finger and tie a length of yarn tightly around the middle of it.
Using small sharp scissors snip the loops to leave loose ends. Trim to make a neat, fluffy pompom.
To finish
Sew in all ends and attach pompom.
