This antique red bronze pair of scissors is from Warm Crochet, and they are fantastic with the pom pom maker. One important tip is to use very sharp and pointy scissors when cutting the yarn along the groove of the Pom Pom Maker. Out of all the sizes, I definitely use the Large Pom-Pom Maker set the most!īelow you can see me holding one of the smaller pom poms to show you how tiny they are! These could be used for smaller garlands, pom pom jewelry or purse charms (see more ideas HERE). As you can see, the XL pom pom is a hefty size and certainly would make a statement atop a beanie! I generally use the 3 3/8″ size for adult hats and the 2 1/2″ size for child hats. Here are the largest three sizes with a knitted hat ( Knitted Fair Isle Beanie blog post HERE) to show you what they look like with a finished item. I used Lion Brand Yarn’s Vanna’s Choice for the smaller pom poms and Wool-Ease Thick & Quick for the larger pom poms!
I used all the different sizes to make 7 different pom poms to show you the relative difference in size. XL Pom-Pom Maker (comes with 1): creates approximately 4 1/2″ pom pom.Large Pom-Pom Maker (comes with 2): creates approximately 2 1/2″ and 3 3/8″ pom poms.Small Pom-Pom Maker (comes with 2): creates approximately 1 3/8″ and 1 5/8″ pom poms.XS Pom-Pom Maker (comes with 2): creates approximately 3/4″ and 1″ pom poms.In this blog post, I would like to show you all the different sizes available as I was unaware that such a range of sizes existed! From small pom pom garlands to extra large pom poms for super bulky beanies, we need to create different-sized pom poms as makers, so knowing the selection out there is handy! Currently there are 7 different sizes available, as pictured below!

You may remember that I blogged a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the Clover pom pom maker HERE and I’m delighted that so many of you found this tutorial helpful!
Trim and attach the pompom like I showed you in the video above.With fall and beanie-making season upon us, many of us crocheters and knitters will be creating those little tufts of yarn that really complete a hat like a cherry ontop of a cake: pom poms! I started off creating my own pom poms years ago using cardboard templates, but once I discovered the incredible Clover pom pom makers, it was a game-changer, and I never looked back! Whenever I need to create a pom pom for a project, I always look forward to using these indispensable tools as they are so much fun to use and really help facilitate the pom pom making process.Cut the loops of yarn on either side of the tie.Wrap the working yarn around the middle of the bundle tightly a few times, then tie it in a knot around itself.Carefully slide the yarn bundle off the end of the cylinder.Wrap the yarn many, many, many times around the cylinder, spreading it over about a 2-inch area.Paper towel or toilet paper rolls will work fine, as will a Nalgene bottle if you need a pompom the size of a small kitten. Find a water glass, water bottle, or other cylinder that is the diameter that you would like your finished pompom to be.How to make a pompom if you don’t have a pompom maker If you don’t have a pompom maker, you can still make a good pompom, but it wastes a bit more yarn and will require some more fussing at the end.
