If you have a button with larger holes or use a smaller thread, you won’t have this problem. I like to use floss threaders – a cheap and practical solution, available at your nearest drug store. Notice that the buttonholes are small compared to the diameter of the yarn, so I need some type of threader to pull the yarn through the holes. This pom pom has a tiny elastic, so I used a crochet hook to pull a scrap piece of yarn through the elastic. If the pom pom has an elastic, I like to use a crochet hook to pull the yarn string through the elastic. The typical faux fur pom poms will have a semi-soft core that you can easily puncture with a needle so you can use a needle to secure the yarn to the core of the pom, leaving 2 strands dangling down.
You can use the same yarn you knitted the hat with, although if it is a chunky yarn it is easier to pick a thinner yarn that will fit better through the buttonholes. Then you will have to attach strings yourself. However, you may also purchase a pom pom with a small elastic or a press stud button, or even with nothing at all. Some pom poms have 2 or 4 strings attached to it, and if you are making your own pom pom from leftover yarn, it is easy to leave 2 long strings to attach the pom pom with. What to do if your pom pom doesn’t have strings It can also be fun to switch up the look of a hat by tying on a different size or color pom pom, or maybe wearing it without a pom pom every now and then.Īnd no, you do not feel the button against the top of your head. Most pom poms don’t do well in the wash, so it’s always a good idea to take off the pom if you need to wash your hat. The best part about the button method is that it’s easy to detach the pom pom. You feed the strings through the top center of the hat, turn the hat inside out, and tie the strings to the button – Voilà! You need a pom pom with strings and a button with holes large enough to fit the string size. Thanks so much Ainur!
