A quick glance at my Knitting Patterns will tell you I’m a big lover of Pom Poms! I’ve always used the cardboard disc method to make them but it was kind of a pain. The cardboard bends and I sometimes ended up with crooked or flimsy pom poms. I purchased this Clover Pom Pom Maker a few weeks ago and it’s been a game changer! The instruction diagram on the package isn’t helpful at all, so I wanted to post a tutorial clearly illustrating the steps. Follow this and you’ll get perfect poms every time!
 |
| [Bend the arms out] |
 |
| [Starting at the inner edge, wrap your yarn] |
 |
| [Keep wrapping the yarn until it is thick] |
 |
| [Close the arm] |
 |
| [Begin wrapping the yarn around the other arm] |
 |
| [Close arm in when you are finished wrapping] |
 |
| [Cut along the middle all around the circle] |
 |
| [Cut a 10 inch long piece of yarn and tie it tightly in a double knot around the middle] |
 |
| [Open the arms and pull the pieces apart to reveal your perfect pom pom!] |

December 15, 2018 at 10:31 pmI have the clover Pom Pom makers and I agree with you, the directions are not clear. Took me a bit to figure it out on my own. My mother in law bought me all three sizes, so now I’m well equipment for all sizes of Pom poms
