Cherry Pom Pom
Cut an approx. 4" piece of yarn (keep handy!) Wrap yarn around your index, middle, and ring fingers approx. 60x. (You can do more for a fuller pom. I did 60 for mine - as shown in the photo!) Once you have your desired fullness, take your 4" piece of yarn and slip it through your fingers & wound yarn. Tie it in a double knot as tight as you can. Slide yarn off your fingers. Hold yarn by it's knot and cut evenly at the top. Fluff out your pom pom & trim evenly. Loop string through the top of the hat (at your beginning ring) and tie!
