Use the largest pom pom template to make a pom pom. If youre using the Pencil
Roving and want your pom pom to look like this one, wrap it around the template only a
few times. A little goes a long way!

Bring the pom pom tail to the inside of the hat, tie a knot and weave in the ends. And
youre done!
