[Nfb-krafters-korner] Pom-poms

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.
