This week’s Calculated Act of Kindness: broncos baby hats for a friend expecting her second baby this year. Her 2 year old loved the big brother version.
(I need to learn how to make pom poms.)

Pom poms are easy! (and you don’t need a pom-pom maker, just a piece of cardboard folded in half). You can do it!
Pom-poms are easy…all you need is your own hand…

I really like the pom-pom instructions from the first Stitch n Bitch book. They use two cardboard circles cut in a c shape. Or more specifically two 3/4 circles with a hole in the middle. Aha, knew I could find an online version: http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-make-pom-poms.html
If you knit those hats with that fancy two-strand section, then you can make a pom-pom. The key is to trim the pom-pom enough to make it really tight looking.
