Pom-Pom
There are a million ways to make a pom-pom. Just search YouTube and you will see what I mean....
Here is my favorite simple way
1. Wrap yarn around 2 or 3 fingers about 50 times.
2. Slip off fingers and tie a tight knot around middle.
3. Cut loops, trim and fluff
Use yarn needle to attach pom-pom to hat.
HO! HO! HO!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

When I made mine for my baby girl it didn't look the same. It sort of funneled and was really stiff. I'm using vannas choice yarn. Also my baby is 3 months old. Would the newborn size be correct for her size? her head is about roughly 38-39 cm.
So cute, and the effect is firecrackingly good!
Mine is turning out the same. I'm using Red Heart, and it's stuff and looks like a choppy funnel.
