How to make the pompoms

The pompoms are made by winding yarn around your hand. You can alternatively use a pompom maker or any other method of pompom making that you like.

Wind the yarn 25 times around one of your hands. Remove, and take a long piece of yarn to tie around the centre of the circle of yarn you just made. Tie tightly and securely. Now cut though all of the loops. Fluff out your pompom, and trim if needed to create a final shape. Make two pompoms and add to top sides of the baby hat.
