Why crochet a pompom?
Good question!
First, I am pompom challenged. I can never get the knot quite tight enough.
Second, I hate trimming and trimming and trimming and trimming in search of the perfect shape.
Third, I don’t want to spend my hard-earned money on an expensive pompom maker only to use it on occasion and only if I can find it!
Real Reasons
Aside from those factoids, here are some really good reasons to crochet a pompom!
1.) Crocheted pompoms are great for children’s clothing and accessories. A child cannot pull it apart and eat the little pieces of yarn! No choking hazard here!
2.) You can crochet a pompom from loosely spun yarn or from yarn like chenille that will simply come undone if cut.
3.) You can crochet a floppy pompom. You can’t do it with a tied pompom!
4.) You can use up every inch of an expensive “leftover” specialty yarn.
5.) Accent pompoms can even dress up plain old ready-mades!
And, you can make specialty pompoms by combining more than one basic pompom together!
