Break yarn leaving 12" tail. Graft sts or seam together. Make another. Embellish If desired, add a pom-pom to each toe. To make the best pom-poms, wrap the yarn around your hand 175 times. Slide the yarn off your hand and tie tightly around the midsection of those loops. Cut the ends of the loops and trim until the pom-pom is about 2" across. This uses a lot of yarn, but the resulting pom-pom will be dense and durable. See Abbreviations and the Glossary for help. |
