hey guys I'm Emily from the blue Mouse
and today I'm going to show you how to
attach a pom pom to a knit or crocheted
hat so for this video
I have the new Aurora beanie which is a
knit beanie and a giant pom-pom and
there's another video on my channel that
shows you how to make this giant pom-pom
but for now I'm going to show you how to
attach it so the pom pom has a couple
strands of yarn attached to it and I've
also got a little bit of yarn attached
to the crown of my hat
it's attached on the inside at the
moment so to begin I'm going to thread
the two strands coming out of the
pom-pom to a yarn needle and then you
find the crown of your hat which is this
top a little bit right here and I'm
going to stick my needle through the
hole of that on the inside I'm going to
pull that yarn through so I'm just gonna
pull it off my needle for now and if
you're looking at the inside of the Hat
at the moment I'm going to thread my
yarn that I use to close my hat and I'm
going to thread it up through the hole
in the crown and up into this pom-pom so
you can see it pops out right there
fling it through the pom-pom and then
you find a place a little bit over so I
kind of spread the yarn aside so I don't
bend it when I do this but I find the
spot just a little bit over to push it
back through so I came up through here
and I'm going back down in a different
section so I push it through and I feel
with my hand underneath the Hat I put my
hand where the crown of the Hat is and I
feel for the
needle so I'm going to gently push it
through and it's coming through right
near the crown of the hat so then I just
pull it through on the inside see the
crown of the hat is like right here and
it came through just right next to it so
that's good and then you pull it through
you can see here that it's kind of
folded over some pieces so just take
your yarn needle and just pull them out
from underneath that you just want to
get this yarn out of the way so that you
can finish pulling that through so pull
all the yarn that I see out of the way
and I just continue pulling from the
underside and you can see that now that
yarn has disappeared and if you fluff
your pom-pom you can't really tell where
it went through so then I go back to the
inside of my hat and I just go around a
few of these stitches around the crown
you
do you have a pompom that is not very
well secured and you can tell on the
outside that it wobbles a lot you can go
up through that pom-pom for a second
time and come back through and it will
secure it more but mine doesn't really
wobble very much so it's secure enough
for me so then go back into the inside
of your hat take your yarn needle and I
just thread the pom-pom yarn around a
few of these stitches and then I tie it
in a knot just to make sure it's extra
secure
you
and I'm just gonna go through this
stitch here but don't pull it all the
way closed
instead take your needle and go back
through the loop that you just made
creating a knot I wheel it through a
final few stitches and then I can cut it
off so that is how you a pom pom to a
knit hat the same method can be used for
a crocheted hat as well or any other
piece that you would like to add it to
just fluff it up and you're good to go
you
