How to make a pom pom
A pom pom (also called a bobble in some places) is the perfect topper for your handknit hats, but how do you make a fantastically fluffy one that doesn’t fall off or disintegrate? This tutorial will show you all the tricks I’ve learned for how to make a wonderfully squishy and secure pom pom.
I call the pom pom a bobble for most of this tutorial video. I’ve been watching a lot of UK knitting podcasts lately and have apparently adopted their terminology. 😊
The hat shown is the Ruska Hat. You can find the pattern on Ravelry and my website. Links to the pattern are below:

This tutorial uses a Clover pom pom maker. A pom pom maker in this style can be found in almost all craft stores.

HI Jessica...I had NO idea that steaming the pom pom would make such a difference...wow ..just wow!!!! I often put a flat button underneath the hat ( inside) to tie the pom to and it doesn't flop. This is so you can remove the pom if you wash your hat. This is mostly for a fur pom though...thank you for this tutorial....got to love chicken poo...lol!!!!

I'm glad you found this tutorial useful! Hopefully all your pom pom are fat and glorious from now on. 😄The button idea is excellent! I'll have to try that someday.

Didn't know about steaming the pompom either. What a great tip as well as how to secure it so it's not floppy. Will definitely follow this method on my next one. November was my Christmas Day cast on and I'm really enjoying it. Working on the lower body and sleeves now. Can't wait to be able to wear it!

Hi Jessica. Thanks for a great tutorial. I make my pompoms just like your method but didn't know about the steaming afterwards! Works a treat! Need to try this on my next one! Thanks for the tip. X

I have found after making many of these that either a felt button if it is tight hat or a regular plastic button it loose…. Thread the ends into the hat and then through the holes of the button, pull tight and then tie your bow. The button keeps the Pom tight.
