My little sister has a stuffed bear collection that she just adores. But like every little girl she also has a baby doll. She often begs me to crochet clothing for her doll, so I decided to pull this project out of the hat. She’s pleased with it but I think she would have been happier if it had been pink! This project is quick and easy, and will make a wonderful gift for any little girl!

Pom-pom

Using two fingers or a kitchen fork, wrap yarn around 30 times. With a yarn needle, loop around middle of wrapped yarn and tie very tightly, pulling off fingers or fork in the process. Holding onto the tie strands, cut all loops and trim pom-pom to desired shape. Attach to top center of beret with the two strands. Please see the How to Make Pom Poms tutorial for step-by-step photos if needed.
