Materials

• 1 skein of yarn or scraps of yarn
• Piece of cardboard

Tools

• A crochet hook H/5mm
• Scissors
• Needle

Instructions

• Make a slip knot
• Round 1 - 2 CH, 6 SC in 2nd CH from hook (6 sts)
• Round 2- INC 1 repeat 6 times (12 sts)
• Round 3 - INC 1, SC 1 repeat 6 times (18 sts)
• Round 4- INC 1, SC 2 repeat 6 times (24 sts)
• Round 5- INC 1, SC 3 repeat 6 times (30 sts)
• Round 6 - 1130 SC
• Round 12 - SC all the way across

Note: The original pattern listed "Round 6 - 1130 SC," which appears to be a typo. A likely correction is to continue with SC around to maintain the 30 stitches established in Round 5 (e.g., "Round 6 - SC around (30 sts)"). If you prefer, try the piece on an egg as you crochet and adjust the number of rounds or stitches for a snug fit.

Mini Pom Pom

• Cut a template using some cardboard. Take some cardboard and make two 2-inch circles
• Cut a ½ inch hole from the middle of the circle. Then cut a V from the circle so you have an opening
• Take the yarn and wrap it around the two cardboard C's. Wrap the yarn about ½ inch thick
• Place the carton with the wrapped yarn in between your left thumb and index finger if you are right-handed else the other way around
• Then cut the yarn open on the outside of the carton. Keep your finger on the side so the yarn can’t go anywhere
• When all the yarn is cut slide the two pieces of carton open a little bit so you can wrap a piece of yarn alongside the C and you can tie a knot around the pom-pom
• Take your scissors and cut away yarn that is too long and shape it into a nice round pom pom
• Sew the pom-pom on top of the head
