Pompoms
A ready made pompom saves winding and trimming – and turns out more even than one made by hand. It sits on hats, cushions, bags and children's clothes.

Many pompoms have a snap fastener or a loop. That lets them be removed before washing, which matters especially with faux fur – the pile mats quickly in a machine.
To sew one on, catch the underside several times, ideally with strong thread. A single stitch tears out as soon as someone pulls, and someone always pulls.
On a hat the pompom sits centred on the crown. Mark the spot beforehand, as a crooked pompom is immediately obvious.
For toddlers, attach especially firmly and check regularly. A loose pompom is a small part that has no business near a mouth.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some pompoms have a snap fastener?
So they can be removed before washing. Faux fur in particular mats in the machine and looks straggly afterwards; removed, the pompom stays in good shape.
How do I attach a pompom securely?
With strong thread and several stitches through the underside, spread in a star. A single stitch tears out as soon as someone pulls – and someone always pulls.
Are pompoms suitable for baby hats?
Only if they are very firmly attached. Check regularly; a loose pompom is a small part that has no place near a toddler.
