Pom-pom
Use white yarn.
Cut a piece of white yarn around 20cm.
Take the yarn and loop it around your index and middle fingers at least 20 – 30 times, take the yarn carefully off and with the piece of yarn you cut beforehand, make a tight knot in the middle (placing it horizontally and the looped yarn vertically).
Then cut the loops on both sides and make the strings even. Use the ends of the 20cm string that you used to make the knots for sewing the pom-pom on the top of the hat.
