My 81 yr old mom has been knitting for years but can not recall how to "knit the yarn ont to the needles to start a scarf made with the pom pom yarn. We know how to make pom poms but, this particular yarn has a small pom pom aprx 4"-5" apart already on the yarn itself. Can anyone help me get instructions as to how she can Start the project? She was planning to make scarves for her 3 great grand-daughters for Christmas. Thanks for any and all advise, my momo and I appreciate your input (:

To sewknitter: I found the instruction for pom-poms for a knitted Baby Jester Hat on this site. "Pom-Poms Wind yarn around 3 fingers approx 60 times. Remove from fingers and tie tightly in center. Cut through each side of loops. Trim to a smooth round shape." (This would probably be about a 2"-2 1/2" pom-pom. On my hand, 4 fingers would yield about a 3" pom-pom, and 2 fingers a 1 1/2" pom-pom.) Good Luck! J.B.

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS MAKING POM POMS. CAN ANYONE HELP ME SEW--KNITTER
