Take a triangle and measure off 1.8 cm/ 0.7 inch wide rings.
Prepare as many paper rings as the number of hats you want to make. You’ll get five rings from one paper roll :)
Now, take your yarn scraps and using a triangle, measure off 35 cm/14 inch long parts.
You can use every color you like, but remember that some yarns are easier to work with than the others. I advise you to choose the one that is not too thick and fluffy.You can use every color you like, but remember that some yarns are easier to work with than the others. I advise you to choose the one that is not too thick and fluffy.
Fold piece of yarn in half and place it inside the ring. Keep the ends and a loop on the other sides of the ring.Pull the ends thru the loop to make a slip knot enclosing the ring.
Continue until the layer of yarn on the paper ring is thick enough to cover it completely.
Now, divide the ends in two parts and pull them separately thru to the other side of the ring.
Pull the yarn and dispose it evenly inside the strip.
Take a piece of yarn and tie it around the rest of threads to form the pom-pom part.
Trim the yarn to get a round and fluffy pom. Don’t trim the thread you used for tying if you want to hang your hat.
