How to Make a Pom Pom Scarf

I thought I would try to make a pom pom scarf, how hard could it be? Well making the pom poms  is the easy part stringing them together is the tricky bit. At my first attempt the pom poms were all bunched up. I decided they needed a spacer between each pom pom, something to keep them slightly apart. *Using a big needle and my yarn doubled I passed my thread through the first pom pom several times to secure it. I threaded on the rest of the pom poms to form the scarf, securing the last pom pom like the first.* I repeated *to* three more times, to make it strong. To form spacers I tied and knotted small pieces of yarn between each pom pom. I think it's worked!

For the pom poms I used three 100 grams balls of acrylic yarn from Wilkinsons at a total cost of £2.91

To form spacers I tied and knotted  small pieces of yarn between each pom pom.

This is adorable! I will make some for my daughters this weekend!
I had no idea that pompoms where so easy to make, and to make a scarf is just brilliant!

Thank you!

hi anjie. found out how to bring pompom patt: up, getting on fine. there are so many things on your site,hope i can find Rug making. passed your site to all my pals.thanks JOYCE

What size cardboard did you use? What about the sz. of the yarn? I don't knit or crochet, so things have to really be spelled out for me!! I couldn't pull up the tutorial so I guess I will play it by ear! Thanks!

I used cereal packet card. Cut two discs, with a 4cm radius. The centre circle, you cut out, has a 1.5cm radius. I used a small amount of double knitting (DK) wool. The pom pom instructions can be found here How to make a pom pom Bumble Bee hope this helps

What size pom pom maker did you use for this? And how many pom poms did you use for it?

Thanks!

I make my pom poms the traditional way, from discs of cardboard, here's a pom pom tutorial http://www.pompomemporium.com/content/how-make-a-pom-pom-bumble-bee. I made approximately 30 pom poms for the scarf

Thank you! I can't wait to make this!

Gosh that worked out cheaply, good old Wilkinsons...

Yeah this looks great and will be so cosy around your neck.

:)

Great minds....... I did think about a bead but wondered if it would be too hard a device in such a soft structure. I might try it if I make another!
