It is simple to center it. As you said Terry there is a small hole at the
top of a hat. You can feel it if you have no sight or you can see it.
You have 2 strands of yarn from the pom pom so bring 1 strand down on one
side of the gathering hole and the other strand down on the other side, ttie
it securely I like to then thread the piece of yarn and use a yarn needle and
go up on the opposite side of that hole and back down to the inside of
the hat with each of the 2 strands of yarn and tie it again. That way it is
secure on 4 sides of the gathered hole at the top of the hat. It will not
move and be centered.

It is a lot easier to understand, done on a rectangular pice of card
board. It is the same as if you were going to cut yarn to make fringe, but
instead, you will be folding the yarn in half and tying it off and ruffling the
ends of the pieces of the yarn. I never knew it was so easy.
These directions do not really tell you how to attatch it. A loom knitted
hat has a small hole in the center, so how are you going to center it
exactly. I guess you would have to sew it to the edge of the circle at the top
of the hat, making it a bit off centered, most likely not noticeable.

Maybe before wrapping a horizontal foot long tie across end of the
cardboard taping lightly on each end to hold it on the cardboard. Then wrap
vertically around and around the cardboard. Then when you are happy with the
fullness of the wrap, untape the vertical tie and tie together pulling all the
vertical strans super tightly, and knot. Then on the oposit side of the
card board of the vertical tie cut with one strong cut all the vertical
strans. Then fluff the pom pom with your fingers or by shaking it vigorously by
the tie ends.
Becky and Jake who hasn't tried this way either, giggle.

Hi Dixie,
I like LM's instructions much better. I never tried this method I posted
because it was somewhat confusing to me as well, but now having read LM's
instructions, I might just try to make a pom-pom myself for my next hat.
