How-to Faux Fur Pom Pom on Knitted Toque

I wanted to make my granddaughter a basic knit hat in white and trim it with a faux fur pom pom. I asked a friend and talented crocheter about a place to purchase pom poms. She gave me a suggestion and told me they aren’t hard to make.

After a little searching, I learned just how to make them.

 
It is a quick project and rather easy too.
 

How to make faux fur pom poms

I bought a quarter yard of the faux fur at Hobby Lobby for $4.74 ($18.99 a yard).  I can get 5-6 large pom poms from the quarter yard.

Draw a circle onto the back of the fur about 6.5-inches in diameter.

Usually the finished pom pom size is about 2-inches smaller than the size of the circle but because the fur was long on my faux fur, the pom pom turned out pretty large.

Thread a needle with a strong thread because you don’t want it to break as you pull on it. Make sure it is long enough to stitch all the way around and then to stitch closed, plus sew on a pin. I used quilting thread.

 


Knot the end of your thread and begin a running stitch about 1/4-inch from edge.

 
 

 

 
Continue around giving a little pull to begin pulling the edges in.
 
 

Add enough fiberfill to give the pom pom shape.

 
 

 

 

 Pull the thread to close the circle, add a bit more fiberfill if needed.

This is where an additional pair of hands helps especially on a pom pom this big. You want to completely stitch the hole closed while squeezing it all together.

 

Finishing the faux fur pom pom

Because the faux fur is not washable, I made it detachable but sewing on a pin clasp. When secure, knot and cut tread.

 

 

Finished Pom Pom!

 

Attach the Pom Pom to the top of hat.

    I wondering if you have any tips of how you cut the faux fur out? I am afraid to cut it because of how the fur lays, I don’t want the fur to end up shorter in some areas. :/

      Hi Jenny,
      If I remember correctly, I cut the circles from the back of the faux fur. I was able to get the scissor points close to the backing so there was not a problem cutting into the actual fur. 
      I hope this is helpful for you.  Thank you for your visit!
      Kindly, Lorraine

    Great idea! I love it. I would have to be sure not to lay my fur pom-pom down because my little mini-Doxie would think it's a small animal and he would pounce and attack and then chew it up! Love the hat and your beautiful granddaughter is the perfect model.
