The pom-pom is very fine -- one must wrap and wrap until it is crammed full, before cutting and finishing it, to get a really fluffy pom-pom :) I'm very interested in that cast-on method you mentioned. I always use the long "tail" method, but wonder about our description of the nice, soft fit -- sounds good!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276266847729349745.post-42323685988205645802014-12-14T19:03:59.331+00:002014-12-14T19:03:59.331+00:00It's a great hat Una your daughter is going to...It's a great hat Una your daughter is going to love it I use the pompom makers too and find them very effective in fact they can become downright addictive :) xlindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276266847729349745.post-13005088216529531272014-12-14T12:53:15.588+00:002014-12-14T12:53:15.588+00:00It is great and a good use of that yarn!

Those pom-pom makers are brilliant. I ordered several different sized makers last year and was very impressed with how the pom-poms turned out. So much better than the ones I have made by wrapping yarn around my hand. Great vintage hat!kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276266847729349745.post-89152950640104041952014-12-13T13:52:45.860+00:002014-12-13T13:52:45.860+00:00Lovely.
