I distinctly remember doing this project in first grade at my Waldorf school in France. I still have my project, too!! It was only years later that I knew it was called a pompom and there were many variations on this project. Today, I'm showing you the way I learned many years ago. You can reuse the template, but if you weave your pompom really tightly, you may need to cut it out.

I made my template out of heavy chipboard from the back of a paper pad. I'm using bulky weight wool yarn from A Child's Dream in a beautiful multi color.

Directions:
Cut a circle 5" in diameter. Cut out a circle 2" in diameter from the center. Tie a piece of yarn about 2-3 yards long to the template and begin weaving around the circle. When the yarn runs out, tie on other piece. When you can't fit another piece of yarn through the middle, carefully cut around the perimeter. Tie a string around the middle and remove the template. And voila! You're done!
