SPECIAL STITCH :  Sk st, (sc, dc) in next, sk nest st, (sc, dc) in next

POM POM

This doesn’t have to be exact but here is what I used.  4” X 4” piece of cardboard

Wind yarn around cardboard approx 150 times.  Slide off cardboard and tie yarn around middle as tight as possible.  Leave ends long for attaching to hat.  Cut all loops and trim pom pom to size and shape desired.  Attach to hat.
