What You Will Need to Make the Pom Pom Basket

Fabric Basket  – I bought this basket on Amazon. They come in three sizes and the one I used is large.

Yarn – I used part of a ball of Yarnspirations Bernat Blanket yarn.

Pom Pom Maker – Knitting Loom multi-size pom pom maker

Needle and thread

How to Make Pom Poms

• one – Select the size Pom Pom Maker you want to use.
• two – Open up the pom pom maker.
• three – Wrap the yarn around the top arc on the pom pom maker. When done, clip the yarn and close the arc into the maker. 
• four – Wrap the yarn around the other arc of the pom pom maker. Close.

• five – The pom pom maker should look like this.
• six – Cut the yarn all the way around the outside edge of the pom pom maker.
• seven – When you are done it should look like this.
• eight – Tie a piece around the middle of the pom pom. 

• nine – Pull it tight and knot the yarn.
• ten – Pull open up the pom pom maker and remove the pom pom.
• eleven – Cut around the edges of the yarn to make the yarn lengths all the same length.

How to Add the Pom Poms to the Basket

The first thing you need to do is measure the basket. You want to make the basket so that you can add the pom poms on the same basket the same distance apart. The key is to measure the basket all the way around and come up with a number that will give you the same distance between the pom poms all the way around. You don’t want to have all of the pom poms four inches apart and have the last pom pom two inches apart.

With the large basket, it worked perfectly for me to start the first row 2″ from the top and to place the pom poms five inches apart. I also alternated the rows which look really good. I marked the basket with pins where the pon poms needed to be attached. 

3. I attached each pom pom with a needle and thread. 

4. See how it’s starting to look great? 

I am so happy how this came out. 

This basket is big enough to hold almost anything! I also think it will make an adorable gift!
