Knitting Daily Stitch Guide


Stitches
Cut two circles of cardboard, each 1⁄2” (1.3 cm) larger than desired finished pom-pom width. Cut a small circle out of the center and a small edge out of the side of each circle (Figure 1). Create a pom pom for knitting fig 1
Tie a strand of yarn between the circles, hold circles together and wrap with yarn—the more wraps, the thicker the pom-pom. Cut between the circles and knot the tie strand tightly (Figure 2). Create a pom pom for knitting fig 2

Place pom-pom between two smaller cardboard circles held together with a needle and trim the edges (Figure 3).

This technique comes from Nicky Epstein’s Knitted Embellishments, Interweave Press, 1999.
