Crochet Your Pom Pom Pom Pom Pom Pom

crochet pompoms in bulk

All those cute little pompoms take so long to make.  They really become a nuisance when you have to make more than a few.  But, very clever Anne Weil over at flaxandtwine.com has created a nifty technique and a great tutorial to show us how to work up a bundle of these little tribbles in no time, using only simple things you have around you – like chair legs.  You need yarn and scissors, of course.  But, using her technique, you can put together a bunch of these so that you can get back to your main crochet projects rather than focusing all your time on the flourishes.  Cute, quick, creative!

You’ll also love Anne’s deliciously twine-covered Easter eggs and her crochet covered rocks which I’ve featured before.  I wonder what else we can find to cover using the techniques she’s presented in her egg tutorial?  Any ideas?

  2. JD, Thank you so much for finding and sharing the site on pompoms. I made a hat with a pompom on it once because I hated the tediousness of making them individually. This is fantastic! Thank you, will try now for my granddaughter’s hat.

Free Purple Witch Hat Keychain Crochet Pattern – Cute Halloween Bag Charm

If you love those tiny crochet projects that use hardly any yarn but still look ridiculously cute, this little witch hat is worth adding to your Halloween list.

The Free Purple Witch Hat Keychain Crochet Pattern on CraftBits is worked from the top down in one main piece, so there is very little sewing together at the end. You start with the pointed purple hat, add a black band, work the brim, then finish it off with a tiny gold buckle and that classic crooked witch-hat shape.

It is exactly the sort of project I like for leftover yarn. You only need small amounts of purple, black and gold, which means those odd little yarn balls we all refuse to throw away finally have a purpose.

The finished hat can be attached to a keyring or bag clip, but you could also use it as a Halloween tree ornament, zipper charm, gift topper or even string several together to make a spooky little garland.

I also love how easy it would be to change the colours. Try orange and black, green and purple, or cream and dusty pink for a softer cottage-witch look.

This is a quick, beginner-friendly Halloween crochet project that would be especially cute for party favours, market stalls or little handmade gifts.
