Pom Pom (in fluffy yarn and 10 mm hook) 

*Tip: Don’t skip using the stitch marker. This yarn is very forgiving, but you can feel for the stitches and crochet very loosely if you need to count your stitches!

 

Rnd 1: Make a magic circle and (sc) x6 [6]

 

Rnd 2: (sc, inc) x3 [9]

No need to stuff as this yarn is already very bulky. Fasten off. 

 

Thread your needle and sew through the flo and cinch the hole closed. 

 

We will use the yarn tail we leave at the start of the hat to sew the pom pom to the top.
