This scarf is so adorable!!! I made it with “Valentine-ish” colors, but you can use any color combo you like!
Endless possibilities with this one…make it into a garland- or wreath too.
Beginner Level (great for kids ages 8 and up- they may need help with knot)
What you will need…
Yarn- colors of choice (you may need the whole roll if using one color)
good scissors
crochet hook (for last part)
cardboard
2 big buttons of matching colors
1st cut the cardboard in a semi circle like pic below- make 2 exactly the same. Mine is about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. (I call it Boppy shape)
Next place a piece of yarn on top of the first piece of cardboard.
Place 2nd piece on top of the other and sandwich the yarn inside leaving the ends out.
Now wrap the yarn around both- you will do this until…
it looks like this. Then with the two ends on the bottom tie a VERY tight knot.
The yarn should be about this thick- the thicker the better.
Once you are done with the knot… cut around the top evenly.
Now take the cardboard out and fluff it up. Next take your scissors and even out the ends.
You can even have your kids help out! (my kids loved this part- they are 3 and 5)
Once you have made 15 or so depending on how long you want it… your next step is to string them together… Get out a crochet hook- size shouldn’t matter. You will place the hook into the middle of the pompom. From there place the yarn inside the hook.
Now pull the hook back through along with the yarn.
Pull down and start on the next one..
Once you have all the pompoms on the yarn grab one of your buttons… (sorry for the blur)
Next tie the button and make a double knot. You are now finished!!!
So chic!
Looks amazing on my door as a garland!
Happy Creating!

I saw you on sewmuchado yesterday and am just finishing up my scarf today. Love it! I'll come back and post a link after I blog about it soon. Thanks again, love the idea!
How do you get the knot tied tight enough that the pieces of yard don’t pull out? I’ve tried twice and can’t get it tied tight enough. HELP!!!
I can't wait to see it! I will have a linky party tomorrow and you can post it there if you like.
Brilliant! I'm definitely making one this weekend :] Great job!!
I am so totally making one of those, or two or three. Maybe even more.
Absolutely darling. I am featuring this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com. Grab my "featured" button.

Thanks again for sharing this!
This is so gorgeous! I showed it to my four-year-old last week, and she keeps asking me when I am going to make it for her! She will love that we are making it together! Thanks for sharing!
i love it! and my daughters and niece would love it! except i dont understand how to link them together…
just string them together using one long piece of yarn through the knot that you tied when making the poms. Hope that helps!
So cute and simple great craft and gift idea
I love this scarf idea! My daughter loves it too… and it’s something we can make together!
I totally love this , but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to hook them all together. Can someone give me a simple explanation, I am a little craft challenged sometimes ! lol I want to master this so I can teach the ladies at the nursing home ! Blessings and Great Blog !
Hi Angela! Using a crochet hook take a long peice of yarn and pull it through the knot in the middle that is holding the pom pom together. Repeat with all the pompoms! Hope this helps. THanks, Rachel
